Another cold front has passed through Mexico, and we ended the year on a nippy note. Last night the temperature dipped down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. (Remember that central heating is nearly non-existent in Mexico City homes.) This morning at 9:00 as I was preparing to head to the family house to spend New Year's Eve, the temperature was still only 45 F.
As you can see from this photo I took of the forecast on the Weather Channel, in spite of the sunshine, by noon it was still going to be a bit chilly at 61 degrees.
Looking out the window, I could see people bundled up in warm coats. Before leaving the apartment, I put on a warm long sleeve shirt and a pullover sweater over that. As I walked to the bus station, I almost wished that I had a scarf and gloves. Yes, I know that as I write this, the temperature back in Ohio is 29 with a wind chill of 17. A temperature of 45 would be considered very balmy up there. I don't why, but when it's in the 40s here, it feels colder than that. I have to laugh at tourists who think that they should pack shorts and sandals for a trip to Mexico City in December.
Wow, that's definitely cold by CDMX standards!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Alejandro a Happy New Year. I, for one, look forward to putting every moment of 2025 in the rearview mirror.
Felices Fiestas,

Yes, it's quite nippy, and several days the high in the afternoon has not even reached 70.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 2026 goes 1000% better for you!
Feliz año nuevo,
Bill
