Tijuana, one of the main cities of Baja California, has a semi-arid climate characterized by dry and temperate to hot summers, as well as mild and humid winters. The average annual temperature is 17.5 degrees.

Because it has access to the Pacific Ocean and its proximity to California, its coasts are cold during the summer and warm in the winter; likewise, rainfall is not as abundant and occurs due to cold fronts or storms generated between November and April.

From autumn to spring it is common for the phenomenon known as “Santa Ana Winds” to occur, which are characterized by strong, dry and hot winds that go from the mountains to the sea and that can cause heat waves above the 30 degrees.

On the other hand, the record minimum temperature has been -9.4 and the maximum of 48.2 degrees, likewise, it has snowed up to five times (in the years 1967, 2007, 2008, 2014, 2021) although in reality the low temperatures are strange in this area.

Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, because due to its geographical location, which makes it creditor to a great variety of climates, it has become 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 is the tropical zone and on the other with a temperate climate, however, these are intermingled by the oceans and reliefs that surround Mexico giving origin to more times.
