Weather & Climate

The climate in Mexico can be broken down into sections based on the land’s elevation in relation to the sea.

Below 1,000 metres above sea level the land has an average temperature ranging between 24 and 28 degrees Centigrade (75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit) with the temperature only fluctuating by about 5 degrees Centigrade (9 degrees Fahrenheit) between the summer and winter months. Additionally the elevation is known to keep hot and humid conditions all year around. Between 1,000 and 2,000 metres above sea level the region typically averages temperatures between 16 and 20 degrees Centigrade (61 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit) and most areas tend to keep pleasantly cool conditions throughout the year. Above 2,000 metres the temperature drop further and manage a yearly average between 8 and 12 degrees Centigrade (46 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit) but it’s still normal for most areas to keep cool pleasant summers and wild winters throughout the course of the year.

Weather-wise, the conditions that determine the outcome are dependent on the area’s position in the country.

In the north-west and north-east there is rainfall equivalent to between 300 and 600 millimetres per year. Meanwhile in the south of the region rainfall typically doubles this at between 600 and 1,000 millimetres per year. Finally, around the coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico, conditions are wetter still with over 1,000 millimetres of rain every year, the wettest region being the state of Tabasco which sees over 2,000 millimetres of rain yearly. Typically the rainy season is between June and October, with the months between November and May being much drier.

It should be mentioned that Mexico is located right in the dead centre of a hurricane belt meaning the region is prone to hurricane weather from time to time; these can cause extensive damage and occasional loss of life. Hurricane Gilbert, for example, passed right over Cancun in 1988 and with winds at speeds of over 200 kilometres an hour, tore apart many of the hotels in the resort area, before passing into Monterrey and ripping apart the crops and killing dozens.
