Mexico's national averages run from 23 °C in January to 32 °C in June, with rainfall between 17 mm in March and 147 mm in September and 6.7–9.3 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are March, April and October. Its 33 regions span 22–33 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
