Mexico is a privileged country, because its geographical position (its outlet 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 species in the world. world, being 12 thousand of them 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 the distribution of land and water mean that up to seven types of climate are identified in the national territory: warm sub-humid , dry, semi-dry, dry desert, warm humid, temperate sub-humid, temperate humid and cold.

In this context, it is not surprising that in the upper parts of Chihuahua the thermometer reaches -30 degrees, while in the Mexicali desert, the same north of the country, it rises to register 50 degrees Celsius.

According to the National Meteorological Service, the country’s annual average temperature is 19 degrees, however, there are cities like Mexicali, Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Torreón, Saltillo and Monterrey where temperatures are excessively high.

Proof of this is San Luis Río Colorado, a city located in Sonora and located on the border 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 the July 6, 1966 thermometer rose to 58.5 degrees Celsius.

In contrast, the lowest temperature recorded in history was that of December 27, 1997, when the thermometer dropped to -25 degrees in the Chihuahuan municipality of Madero.

However, this variety of climates has been affected in recent years by climate change and experts foresee a grim future for the country with a considerable reduction in annual rainwater and a considerable increase in temperatures.

The ravages have already begun to affect 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, as is the case from the Mexican capital.
