Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical models, help predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location based on various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
The National Meteorological Service forecasts a cold to cool environment in the morning with a probability of drizzle and fog banks in high areas. This will change a little in the afternoon, where a mild environment with cloudy skies and rain and intervals of showers are expected in the country’s capital.
The probability of precipitation for this Monday in Mexico City is 95% during the day and 91% at night.
Meanwhile, cloudiness will be 99% during the day and 96% during the night.
As for the temperature, a maximum of 19 degrees and a minimum of 14 degrees is forecast in this region. Ultraviolet rays are expected to reach a level of up to 2.
While wind gusts will reach 43 kilometers per hour during the day and 32 kilometers per hour at night.

It might be thought that due to its geographical location and size, the Mexican capital would have a uniform subtropical climate, but this is not the case, as it has climates that range from temperate to cold humid and alpine tundra in the highest part of the south.
In general, the climate is warm and temperate in CDMX, hovering between 22 and 27 degrees; Summers are characterized by having a good amount of rainwater, with June, August and September being the months in which the most rainfall is recorded.
During winter, temperatures usually drop to zero degrees in the highest areas of the periphery, such as Ajusco; In contrast, municipalities such as Iztacalco, Iztapalapa, Venustiano Carranza and Gustavo A. Madero tend to be the driest and most temperate.
Among historical records is that the last time snow fell in the city was in 1967; while the highest temperature was recorded on May 9, 1998, when the thermometer rose to 33.9 degrees, while the minimum was -10 degrees, which occurred on December 10, 1972.
Due to climate change, the capital is hit hard by constant environmental contingencies, so currently the Ministry of the Environment (Sedema), in alliance with the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development (GIZ México) and the Mexican Climate Initiative (ICM ), implements a series of actions that revolve around integrated and sustainable mobility; solar city; zero waste; sustainable water management and river rescue; revegetation of the countryside and the city; air quality and climate culture.
The temperature in CDMX ranges between 22 and 27 degrees. (DARKQUARTERS)
Mexico is a beneficiary country, since 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 species in the world. world, with 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 distribution of land and water mean that up to seven types of climate are identified in the national territory: warm subhumid , dry, semi-dry, dry desert, warm humid, temperate subhumid, temperate humid and cold.
In this panorama, it is not surprising that in the high parts of Chihuahua the thermometer reaches -30 degrees Celsius, 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 such as Mexicali, Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Torreón, Saltillo and Monterrey where temperatures are extremely high.
As proof of this, there is San Luis Río Colorado, a 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 was that of 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 climate change and experts predict a discouraging future for the country with a considerable reduction in annual rainwater and a considerable increase in temperatures.
The damage has already begun to become noticeable, affecting farmers and ranchers due to droughts or severe floods, while in hot seasons an increase in the number of environmental contingencies has been seen in the main metropolises, such as the case of Mexico City.
