climate nuevo leon part 1

General Information
Climate in Nuevo Leon


Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth's surface at a certain place on earth. Two of the most important factors determining an area's climate are air temperature and precipitation.

World biomes are controlled by climate. The climate of a region will determine what plants will grow there, and what animals will inhabit it. All three components, climate, plants and animals are connected to create the fabric of a biome.

Nuevo Leon is located near the border, at the Midwest of the country and it is characterized as a state geographically surrounded by mountains.

            The climate of a place is set with data from an optimal period of 30 years or more. Thus, it was established that the climate is extreme in Nuevo Leon. It is mainly hot and dry, but has template temperatures in the higher areas, freezing in winter and a heavy-long rainy season.

Köppen Climate Classification System

The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used for classifying the world's climates. Most classification systems used today are based on the one introduced in 1900 by the Russian-German climatologist Wladimir Köppen. Köppen divided the Earth's surface into climatic regions that generally coincided with world patterns of vegetation and soils.

The Köppen system recognizes five major climate types based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation. Each type is designated by a capital letter.

In the case of Nuevo Leon, its classification gets in:
B - Dry Climates; characterized by little rain and a huge daily temperature range. And in two subgroups, S - semiarid or steppe, and W - arid or desert, where there are large temperature fluctuations due to the lack of water vapor in the atmosphere.
 
Nuevo Leon is in a semi-arid region in nature. The average annual precipitation ranges between 300 and 600 mm and the most frequent winds come from the north, northwest and east because of its location on the edge of the steppe and the Sierra Madre Oriental. Hurricanes bring a good amount of water that allows agriculture and consumption in humans and animals, without them it would be more arid.
