The climate in the tourist jewel of Jalisco
Puerto Vallartaone of the main tourist destinations in the state of Jalisco, has a semi-warm subhumid climate due to its proximity to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range and the Pacific Ocean.
In summer, temperatures range between 25 and 32 degrees and there can be abundant rainfall, while in winter the thermometer drops to 17 degrees and reaches a maximum of 27 degrees, making it an attractive area even for humpback whales that migrate from the frozen arctic waters.
What is the climate in Mexico
Mexico is a favored country, because its geographical position (its access to the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the division made by the Tropic of Cancer) makes it a megadiverse area, being home to at least 12% of the world’s species, 12 thousand of them being endemic.
Although the Tropic of Cancer divides the country into two climatic zones – one temperate and the other tropical – the truth is that the altitude, latitude and distribution of land and water mean that in the national territory Up to seven types of climate are identified: warm subhumid, dry, semidry, dry desert, warm humid, temperate subhumid, temperate humid and cold.
In this panorama, it is not surprising that in the upper parts of Chihuahua The thermometer reaches -30 degrees, while in the Mexicali desert, in the north of the country, it rises to 50 degrees Celsius.
According to the National Meteorological Service, the country’s average annual temperature is 19 degrees, however, there are cities like Mexicali, Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Torreón, Saltillo and Monterrey where temperatures are excessively high.
As proof of this is San Luis Rio Coloradoa city located in Sonora and located on the borders of the Great Altar Desert of Baja California and the state of Arizona and which is well known for holding the record for the highest temperature recorded in the country, after on July 6, 1966 the thermometer rose to 58.5 degrees Celsius.
In contrast, the lowest temperature recorded in history It was December 27, 1997, when the thermometer dropped to -25 degrees in the Chihuahuan municipality of Madero.
However, this variety of climates have been affected in recent years by the global warming and experts predict a discouraging future for the country with a considerable reduction in annual stormwater and a considerable increase in temperatures.
The damage has already begun to be seen with effects on farmers and ranchers due to droughts or severe floods, while in hot seasons there has been an increase in the number of environmental contingencies in the main cities, such as the Mexican capital.
