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.
