Now the government and the army are trying to minimize the damage, to clear roads and help citizens who have lost their homes. About the victims and deaths not yet reported.

Guadalajara is situated at an altitude of about 5000 feet above sea level. Here a temperate climate, and in the summer months, rain showers are frequent — and severe weather residents are not new. However, such a storm and a hailstorm that turned the city into an ice field, they have not seen.

To @AndrewScheer @jkenney @fordnation @POTUS and other climate change imbeciles: Guadalajara Mexico, a subtropical climate, covered in icy snow since last night — June 29, 2019. Brief hail can happen occasionally but never so much for so long at the *end* of June! Plus flooding. pic.twitter.com/qUoz6Ov6YF

This, of course, not Guadalajara, but in Colorado the summer started, too, began with snow.
