He type of weather that there is in a certain region is determined by various conditions 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 supported by other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation describe the atmospheric conditions of a locality 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 annual average temperature leads to changes in the habitats and their conditions.

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

Tuesday’s weather in Puerto Vallarta will reach 27 degrees, while the minimum temperature It will be 15 degrees. The expected UV index is 8.

Port of Vallartaone of the main tourist destinations in the state of Jalisco, has a semi-warm subhumid climate due to its close to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range and the Pacific Ocean.

In summer, temperatures fluctuate between 25 and 32 degrees and rainfall can be abundant, while in winter the thermometer drops to 17 degrees and marks highs of 27 degrees, making it an attractive area even for humpback whales migrating from frozen arctic waters.

Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, because due to its geographical location What gives it 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 lowest 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 a reduction in annual rainfall and a considerable increase in temperatures in the future; 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.
