Towns and cities on the Mexican Altiplano, as well as those found along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges bellow the 1,000 meter mark (3,300 feet) have relatively constant, pleasant temperatures throughout the year between 16°C (61°F) and 20°C (68°F); the most common climate is subtropical highland. On the other hand, more northerly locations experience sizable seasonal variations. Above 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), temperatures drop as low as an average yearly range between 8°C (47°F) and 12°C (54°F). Parts of the northern Altiplano and high peaks in the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental occasionally receive significant snowfalls.

Is southern Mexico plateau in Mexico the best place to grow crops?
It is the Central Mexican Plateau; and yes, it has the best climate and soil for crop growing.
Why is the central plateau considered the heartland of Mexico?
It has milder climate and better soil for agriculture, in contrast to the suffocating deserts to the north and the tropical climate on the coasts. This in turns allows for more intensive agriculture and a higher population density.
Does Mexico have tropical climate?
Northern Mexico is part of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, so it has a dry, arid climate. The Mexican central plateau, where Mexico City and many other cities are located, has a temperate climate, such as San Francisco or Los Angeles in the United States. Southern Mexico has a more tropical climate, but as Mexico has a rugged topography, some parts of the south have a "mountain jungle" climate that is incredibly humid, but temperate.
Where is the best farmland in Mexico?
In the Central Mexican Plateau, where volcanic soil and temperate climate allow better yields.
