Climate in Mexico City: what will be the maximum and minimum temperatures on March 8

Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.

Weather forecasting is an activity that has been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, based essentially on the observation of the configuration of the clouds, the wind, the time of the year, although initially these they did not succeed.

It was only with the advent of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that allowed more accurate predictions to be made, becoming a fundamental factor for the transport (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsbeyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or whatever outfit become.

Below is the weather forecast for the next few hours in Mexico City:

In Mexico City, we expect a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 12 degrees Celsius.

As for the rain the probability of precipitation for this city will be 0% during the day and 1% at night.

In the same direction, the cloudiness will be 11% during the day and 2% at night. While the gusts of wind they will reach 32 kilometers per hour during the day and 32 kilometers per hour at night.

Watch out for the sun, ultraviolet rays should reach a level of up to 10.

One would think that because of its geographical location and size, Mexico City would have a uniform subtropical climate but this is not the casesince 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, oscillating between 22 and 27 degrees; Summers are characterized by a fair amount of rain, with June, August and September being the months with the most rainfall.

During the winter, temperatures generally drop to zero degrees in mountainous regions, such as the I adjust; on the other hand, demarcations such as Iztacalco, Iztapalapa, Venustiano Carranza and Gustavo A. Madero These are generally the driest and most temperate.

Between the historical documents It is known that the last time snow fell in the city was in the year of 1967; while the highest temperature was recorded on May 9, 1998, when the thermometer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 recorded on December 10, 1972.

Because of climate change the capital is hard hit by constant environmental contingencies, which is why currently the Ministry of the Environment (Sedema), in alliance with the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development (GIZ Mexico) and the Mexico Climate Initiative (ICM) , set up a series of actions that revolve around integrated and sustainable mobility; city ​​of the sun; Zero waste; sustainable water management and river rescue; revegetation of the countryside and the city; culture of air quality and climate.

Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, because due to its geographical location What makes it worthy of such a wide variety of climates is that it is home to 12% of the world’s species (12,000 of which are endemic).

The country is located in two completely different areas as it is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer: on the one hand there is the tropical zone and on the other with a temperate climate, however, these are intermingled by the oceans and the reliefs that surround Mexico, giving rise to more weather.

Given this, it is not surprising to find that in the highest parts of Chihuahua temperatures are around -30 degrees, while in the Mexicali desert the thermometer reaches up to 50 degrees.

The country has a hot and rainy zone which includes the lower coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific; warm-humid and warm sub-humid regions found in the coastal plains of the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, northern Chiapas and the Yucatan Peninsula; dry climate in the Western and Eastern Sierra Madre, the upper basins of the Balsas and Papaloapan rivers, parts of the isthmus of tehuantepec, Yucatan and Chiapas; the temperate zones, mainly the territory north of the Tropic of Cancer; and semi-desert, north of the Altiplano.

The average temperature of the country is 19 degrees, however, there are cities like Mexicali, Culiacán, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Torreón, Saltillo or Monterrey where the high temperatures are really extreme.

When we talk about the maximum and minimum temperature records in Mexico, we have to San Luis Rio Coloradoa city located in Sonora but bordering the Baja California Great Altar Desert, rose to the 58.5 degrees July 6, 1966; On the other hand, the minimum temperature was recorded on December 27, 1997 in the Municipality of Madero in Chihuahua, with -25 degrees.

Experts assure that due to climate change, the nation will experience in the future a decrease in annual rainfall and a considerable increase in temperatures; In addition, there have been major effects on farmers and herders due to the severe droughts or floods recent years; while in hot weather there has been an increase in the number of environmental hazards in major cities such as CDMX or Monterrey.
