April and May are the hottest months in Mexico City. It is the one time of the year where daily high temperatures regularly reach or exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. April began a bit cooler than normal, probably because of some thunderstorms that passed through. (We are still in the dry season, but it seemed as if the rainy season were beginning early. According to Weather Channel statistics, however, the half inch of rain that we have had this month is slightly below average.)
In the past week, the temperatures have been in the upper eighties. On Tuesday the high temperature was 90, and yesterday the mercury reached 92. Most Mexican homes do not have air conditioning, and the last several nights we have had the fan running in the bedroom.
The heat has not been nearly as stifling as in some parts of the nation. In Guadalajara the high temperature yesterday was 100 F, and in Mérida it was 102 F!
