Mexico is a favored country because of 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 region, being home to at least 12% of the world’s species, 12,000 of which are endemic.
Although the Tropic of Cancer divides the country into two climatic zones – one temperate and one tropical – the truth is that the altitude, latitude and the distribution of land and water make the national territory Up to seven types of climate are identified: warm subhumid, dry, semi-dry, dry desert, warm humid, temperate subhumid, temperate humid and cold.
In this context, it is not surprising that in the upper parts of Chihuahua The thermometer reaches -30 degrees Celsius, while in the Mexicali desert, also 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 such as Mexicali, Culiacan, Ciudad Juarez, Hermosillo, Torreon, Saltillo and Monterrey where temperatures are extremely 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 is well known for holding the record for the highest temperature recorded in the country, after the thermometer rose to 58.5 degrees Celsius on July 6, 1966.
