The best season to walk through the royal capital is from January to August and from October to December, a time when there is warm or hot weather, where there is hardly any rain and with temperatures ranging from 27 to 35 degrees.
Because temperatures are extremely high in summer, the capital experiences a drought that reaches its highest level between July or August, a time that is also known as “dog days.”
In contrast, the rainy season begins in the fall, with the ninth month of the year being the one with the most rainfall. However, there have been times when storms have occurred that leave severe flooding between April and June. In January, the coldest month, the thermometer drops to an average of 14 degrees although the “coldest day” is usually recorded in February.
According to the marks, the minimum temperature recorded in the history of the city was that of 1983, when the thermometer marked -7.5 degrees, while the last snowfall occurred in December 2004; In contrast, the hottest day was recorded on April 24, 1958, when 48 degrees were reached.
Between July and August Monterrey experiences a strong dry season. (darkroom)
Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, because due to its geographical location that makes it a recipient of a great variety of climates, it has become home to 12% of the world’s species (12,000 of which are endemic).
The country is located in two completely different areas as it is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer: on the one hand there is the tropical zone and on the other with a temperate climate, however, these are intermingled by the oceans and reliefs that surround Mexico giving origin to more times.
Given this, it is not surprising to find that in the highest parts of Chihuahua temperatures are around -30 degrees, while in the Mexicali desert the thermometer reaches up to 50 degrees.
The country has a warm rainy zone that includes the low coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific; warm-humid and warm sub-humid regions that can be found in the coastal plains of the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the north of Chiapas and in the Yucatan Peninsula; dry climate in the Sierra Madre Occidental and Oriental, the upper basins of the Balsas and Papaloapan rivers, parts of the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Yucatán and Chiapas; temperate zones, mostly the territory north of the Tropic of Cancer; and semi-desert, north of the Altiplano.
The average temperature in the country is 19 degrees, however, there are cities such as Mexicali, Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Torreón, Saltillo or Monterrey where high temperatures are truly extreme.
When talking about the record maximum and minimum temperatures in Mexico, San Luis Río Colorado, a city located in Sonora but bordering the Great Altar Desert of Baja California, rose to 58.5 degrees on July 6, 1966; In contrast, the minimum temperature was recorded on December 27, 1997 in the municipality of Madero in Chihuahua, with -25 degrees.
Experts assure that due to climate change the nation will suffer in the future a decrease in annual rainfall and a considerable increase in temperatures; In addition, there have been major impacts on farmers and ranchers due to droughts or severe floods in recent years; while in hot times there has been an increase in the number of environmental contingencies in the main cities such as CDMX or Monterrey.
