If you hope that the beginning of autumn will cool the atmosphere, we inform you that the heat in Mexico will continue for the rest of September and may even last until the beginning of October, especially with regard to high temperatures in the morning and afternoon in the national territory.
Why is it so hot in Mexico?
Although we are in the season of rains and storms, the presence of an anticyclonic phenomenon eliminates the clouds and the usual rains, favoring dry and clear weather, with states such as Sonora and Sinaloa having temperatures close to 50 degrees Celsius.
For those who do not like the heat, we regret to inform you that the forecast from specialists from the National Water Commission and the special portal Meteored agree that Mexico will continue to have high temperatures throughout the week of September 25 to October 1.

Surprisingly, the presence of the anticyclone, which favors an increase in temperature during the day and night, is the only one—with the conditions of clear skies and lack of rain—that causes visible cold starting from the evening of this Monday, September 25.
Forecasts detail that there will be extreme cold between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius in the mountains and rural areas of the center of the country, with minimum temperatures between 6 and 12 degrees in the following states in the evening and early morning during the week of September 25 to October 1.
- Mexico City
- State of Mexico
- Morelos
- Puebla
- Queretaro
- Tlaxcala
- Guanajuato
- Hidalgo
- Veracruz
- Oaxaca
- Michoacan
When will it rain again in Mexico?
Reports from the National Meteorological Service suggest that these last days of September will be the last with the most extreme heat of the year because the anticyclone reached its maximum strength and impact during the weekend we left.
This week, this anticyclonic phenomenon will weaken as it moves, but we will continue to have its influence in the country, accompanied by a small incidence of tropical waves. Precisely, these waves pass in the far south of the country, mainly in front of or over the coastal areas, so they will only cause isolated rains, which will benefit the rains in the southeast and the Sierra Madre Occidental.
