What is the weather and dangers from the weather in Mexico?

Answer 1

There are two reasons:

Geography, which is pretty rugged in Mexico in such a way that its median altitude is on the 1,000-2,000 meter (3,000-6,000 feet) range. This means although Mexico has an overall warmer climate than on the US, much of its territory is temperate and even cool, depending on altitude. For instance, the northern city of Chihuahua has an average temperature of 17.8

Answer 2

There are two reasons:

Geography, which is pretty rugged in Mexico in such a way that its median altitude is on the 1,000-2,000 meter (3,000-6,000 feet) range. This means although Mexico has an overall warmer climate than on the US, much of its territory is temperate and even cool, depending on altitude. For instance, the northern city of Chihuahua has an average temperature of 17.8 °C (64 °F) and the southern city of Oaxaca has an average of 22°C (72 °F).

Location. Mexico is divided by the Tropic of Cancer (23° 26' 22'' north of the Equator), which effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. South of that parallel, temperatures are fairly constant and vary depending on elevation. North of the Tropic of Cancer Mexican landscape is overwhelmingly dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts.

• Coasts along the south Pacific, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico are seasonally affected by hurricanes from June 1 until November 30.
• Low-lying regions along the southern Gulf of Mexico are prone to flooding, specially during hurricane season.

Arid or semiarid conditions are encountered in the Baja California Peninsula, the northwestern state of Sonora, the northern Altiplano, and also significant portions of the southern Altiplano. Rainfall in these regions averages between 300 and 600 millimeters (12-24 inches) per year, and temperature variations are pronounced, between 5°C (41°F) on winter up to 42°C (107°F) on summer months.

Low-lying areas along the Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan Peninsula receive in excess of 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) of rainfall in an average year, with the wettest region being the southeastern state of Tabasco, which typically receives approximately 2,000 millimeters (80 inches) of rainfall on an annual basis. These lands are mostly tropical savanna, with fairly constant temperatures averaging 24°C (75°F) and 28°C (83°F).

Towns and cities on the Mexican Altiplano, as well as those found along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges bellow the 1,000 meter mark (3,300 feet) have relatively constant, pleasant temperatures throughout the year between 16°C (61°F) and 20°C (68°F); the most common climate is subtropical highland. On the other hand, more northerly locations experience sizable seasonal variations. Above 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), temperatures drop as low as an average yearly range between 8°C (47°F) and 12°C (54°F). Parts of the northern Altiplano and high peaks in the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental occasionally receive significant snowfalls.
