Heavy rain with tropical storm Fernand generated mudslides that caused the reported deaths of 13 people in the Mexican state of Veracruz.

TRMM precipitation data are used to calibrate rainfall estimates from other satellites. The resulting TRMM- based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is used to estimate rainfall over a wide portion of the globe. The analysis above shows estimated TMPA rainfall totals for the period from August 20-27, 2013 when Fernand was developing and moving through the area. Total Rainfall greater than 300mm (~11.8 inches) are shown in one area near Mexico's coastline. Tropical storm Fernand's track is shown overlaid in white.
