Low-lying areas are mostly tropical savanna, with fairly constant temperature averages between 24°C (75°F) and 28°C (83°F). Towns and cities on 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. 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).

Some cities' temperature ranges are listed:

  • Oaxaca: 20°C (68°F)
  • Chilpancingo: 20°C (68°F)
  • Acapulco: 30°C (86°F)
  • Tuxtla Gutierrez: 25°C (77°F)
