The Chapala Lake basin has a year-round average temperature of about 72\u00a0\u00b0F (22\u00a0\u00b0C). Due to Ajijic’s tropical latitude, the sun is warm year round; due to its relatively high elevation, it is seldom unpleasantly hot or humid. The rainy season begins in June and lasts until October with an average rainfall of approximately 34 inches (860\u00a0mm). Even during the rainy season, precipitation generally occurs during the evening or at night.<\/p>\n
December and January are the coolest months and May is the hottest, just before the onset of the rainy season. Overall, there is very little temperature variation year round: daytime highs in January are around 75\u00a0\u00b0F (24\u00a0\u00b0C); daytime highs in May are around 80\u00a0\u00b0F (27\u00a0\u00b0C) to 90\u00a0\u00b0F (32\u00a0\u00b0C).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
