Climate Characteristics of Juárez
General Overview
Juárez features an arid desert climate. Due to its location in the Chihuahuan Desert at an altitude of approximately 1,100 meters (3,600 feet), it experiences extreme weather with significant variations between seasons and between day and night. It is one of the few places in Mexico where one can experience a true cold winter alongside a scorching summer.
Summer and Warm Months (May to September)
Summer in Juárez is hot and very dry. Daytime temperatures regularly exceed 35°C (95°F) and during the peak season (June-July), they often climb above 40°C (104°F). Despite the aridity, short and intense "monsoon" rains occasionally occur in late afternoon during July and August, providing brief relief but increasing humidity.
Winter Season (December to February)
Winter in Juárez is significantly colder than in most of Mexico. While days can be pleasant and sunny (around 15°C/59°F), nighttime temperatures frequently drop below freezing (0°C/32°F). Cold fronts from the north can bring freezing winds and occasional light snow events, making winter here quite challenging.
Transition Seasons
The transition seasons are relatively short but are considered the most pleasant times to visit. Spring is characterized by strong winds and occasional dust storms, while autumn offers clear skies and very comfortable temperatures during both day and night.
