MEXICO - CLIMATE
CLIMATE
The physical diversity of Mexico is expressed in the country’s varied climatic conditions. Among the reason such diversity are latitude position (most of Mexico lies south of the Tropic of Cancer), complicated terrain,

varied altitudes (nearly half of the country is over 5,000 feet above sea level! ), and the influence of adjacent seas and oceans.

Most of the country is exceptionally dry, particularly in the northern regions and the Baja Peninsula. Southern Mexico and the Yucatàn Peninsula experience pronounced rainfall, with areas in Chiapas State tallying over 150 inches of annual precipitation!

As in most tropical regions, Mexico has two weather seasons: rainy and dry. Generally, rain fall and temperatures rise from June through October, leaving November-May as the more temperate, drier season.

1 NORTHERN BAJA
Despite the desert landscape, this region resembles Southern California, with little rain, warm summers, and mild winters. The Sea of Cortès side tends to be warmer than the Pacific side of the peninsula.

2 SOUTHERN BAJA
This subtropical desert boasts over 350 days a year of sunshine, cool winter evenings, low humidity and refreshing sea breezes. Summer temperatures climb into the low 100’s but are generally cooler on the Pacific Ocean side.

3 NORTHWEST COAST
This region is similar to Northern Baja, but with more rain and stronger storm patterns.

4 WEST COAST
Also known as the "Riviera," this region has warm tropical weather year round. The months of November

through May are blessed with warm, dry days and balmy evenings. The region has a pronounced rainy season (June-October) with heavy humidity, daily rain showers, and warm temperatures.

5 CENTRAL PLATEAU
Due to higher elevations this region has pleasant , spring-like conditions through much of the year. Rainfall is most pronounced June through September. Cool and often cold evenings are common in winter.

6 THE YUCATÁN PENINSULA
In this region, coastal proximity largely determines temperature and humidity. In summer, Gulf and Caribbean coasts stay cooler due to trade winds while interior jungles are hot and humid. Rainfall is pronounced from April-May and September – January, when temperatures soar into the 90’s, September and October bring the chance of hurricanes and sometimes prolonged cloudiness. Winters are very pleasant.

7 THE GULF COAST
This region is muggy with severe summer temperatures. Rainfall increases significantly south of Tampico, where cold nortes (brisk northerly winds) often hit from September through February.

Travelers can obtain current readings and three - day forecasts through several services, including American Express’ Worldwide Weather Report (dial 900-WEATHER). For cities in Mexico punch in the first three letters of the city’s name (MEX for Mexico City) Cost is $.75 per minute.
