Any suggestions for a trip to Mexico?

One of the notes on Mexico tourism: the best travel time

Mexico's altitude is relatively high, with the Mexican Plateau in the middle accounting for 5/6 of the country's area, Yucatan Peninsula in the southeast with flat terrain, and most coastal plain areas with long and narrow terrain. Mexico borders the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, with a coastline of1122km. This unique condition has also created coastal resorts, such as Cancun, which is completely different from the central plateau.

The climate in Mexico varies from place to place. The annual temperature difference in the Mexican plateau is small, the annual average temperature is around 20℃, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the ultraviolet rays are strong. Pay attention to sun protection when going out. May to September every year is the summer in the plateau, with more rainfall.

Compared with the Mexican plateau, the coastal and southeastern plains of Mexico are hotter, with an average annual temperature of around 27℃ and little temperature difference between winter and summer. The best season to visit the coastal areas of Mexico is165438+1October. At this time, the weather is fine, there are fewer mosquitoes, but there is more precipitation.

Before tourists travel, they should also consider the climate of some special areas in Mexico, such as the hot and humid weather in the jungle of Mexico in summer, and there may be hurricanes in southern Mexico from August to 65438+10. In some places with higher altitude in the Mexican plateau, the temperature is lower than that in other areas. If you go to these places, you should take warm measures.
