He type of weather that there is in a certain place is determined by various factors among which the altitude, the latitude, the orientation of the relief, the distance to the sea and the sea currents and gives guidelines to the so-called “weather weather” which in turn is based on other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation describe the atmospheric conditions of a territory in the short term.

To classify the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others, such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic, are interested in the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.

Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which any change, however small, in the average annual temperature leads to changes in habitats and their conditions.

In this context, here we leave you the weather forecast for Ecatepec.

This Sunday’s weather in Ecatepec will reach 27 degrees, while the minimum temperature It will be 9 degrees. The forecast for UV levels is 7.

As for the rain precipitation forecast for the said city it will be 3%, with a cloudiness of 19%, during the day; and 4%, with 11% cloudiness, throughout the night.

Mexico is an advantaged country because its geographical location (its exit to the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the division made by the Tropic of Cancer) makes it a megadiverse region, hosting 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 the other tropical – the truth is that the altitude, latitude and distribution of land and water mean that within the national territory up to seven types of weather are identified: hot subhumid, dry, semi-dry, dry desert, hot 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 in temperature, while in the Mexicali desert, equal to the north of the country, it rises to register 50 degrees Celsius.

According to the National Weather 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 extremely high.

As proof is San Luis Rio Coloradoa 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 on July 6, 1966 the thermometer rose to mark 58.5 degrees Celsius.

On the other hand, the lowest temperature recorded in history It 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 the climate change and experts predict a daunting future for the country with a drastic reduction in annual rainfall and a drastic rise in temperatures.

The devastations have already begun to affect farmers and ranchers due to droughts or severe floods, while in the hot seasons the number of environmental contingencies has increased in the main cities, as is the case from the Mexican capital .
