Cuautitlán has a subtropical highland climate.
Hot, wet summers and cool, dry winters — here's what that means in plain terms.
What this climate feels like
The four things a regular visitor actually wants to know:
Highs near 28°C in April.
Lows near 4°C in January.
About 890 mm of rain a year. Wettest in July.
A roughly even mix of sun and cloud.
What "subtropical highland" means
Climate scientists sort every place on Earth into about 30 climate types, based on how hot, cold, wet and dry it is across the year. Cuautitlán's type — subtropical highland — sits in the broad family of mild, temperate climates.
Researchers write climate types as a short letter code. Here is what each letter means:
Cities with the same climate as Cuautitlán
A subtropical highland climate (Cwb) — these recognizable cities share it. If you know one of them, you know roughly what to expect.
Has Cuautitlán's climate type changed?
Stable — Cuautitlán's climate has held the same type between the 1971–2000 and 1991–2020 normals. The label is steady; the climate beneath it is still warming.
What this climate means for you
Coffee, avocado, flowers, citrus, temperate vegetables — all thrive at altitude. A long, gentle growing season.
Year-round travel weather; the dry winter is the cleanest, sunniest window for outdoor activity.
Often described as 'eternal spring' — mild days, cool nights, sunny dry winters. Heating is light; AC unnecessary.
Where these numbers come from
The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Cuautitlán's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Cuautitlán's main climate page, so the two always agree.
Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.
