The climate of Monterrey (Mexico)
Monterrey is a large city located in the north western part of Mexico
and is the capital of the federal state of Nuevo León. Because of its
situation in the north eastern part of the Sierra Madre and the
altitude at which the city is located (3,000 feet) extreme differences
in weather within 24 hours are not uncommon. Summers are hot with high
humidity figures; after a heavy rainstorm in the afternoon the air
feels clean and fresh again. The rainy period is from June till the
second part of September. During the winter it may be very cold during
the night. Monterrey is also known as ‘the Sultan of the North’.
Because of the strategic situation of the city Monterrey has become
one of the largest trading cities in Mexico. Several churches,
cathedrals and fountains in the city are well worth visiting.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
