What "cold semi-arid" 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. Tepeji del Río de Ocampo's type — cold semi-arid — sits in the broad family of dry climates — deserts and steppes.

The shorthand: BSk

Researchers write climate types as a short letter code. Here is what each letter means:

B
Arid — More water evaporates than falls as rain — the defining feature of a dry climate.
S
Steppe (semi-arid) — Drier than temperate country, but with enough rain for grassland — not true desert.
k
Cold — The yearly average sits below 18 °C — a cold dry climate with real winters.

Where these numbers come from

The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Tepeji del Río de Ocampo's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Tepeji del Río de Ocampo'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.

Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — the official 1991–2020 climate normals from CONAGUA / SMN, Mexico's national weather service, measured at Presa Requena, about 7 km from the city centre.
