MEXICO CITY - Several states, including Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Coahuila and Guerrero, have issued heat advisories to residents as temperatures rise above 37 C (98.5 F), the Mexican National Water Commission, or Conagua, said.

"For this year, 2014, based on the monthly forecasts, it is expected that the midsummer heat will be moderate; however, it could be intense in some regions," the Conagua said in a statement.

Low precipitation is likely in August, mainly in eastern, western, southern and southeastern Mexico, as well as above average temperatures, the Conagua said.

The midsummer heat is a climatic event that affects different regions of Mexico year after year, with high temperatures and scarce rainfall.

The climatic event usually starts in July and can last until early September in some states.
