What’s the weather like in Tlaquepaque?
Because the Guadalajara area is located on Mexico’s high, central plateau (Tlaquepaque’s elevation is 5000 feet, or 1550 meters), temperatures are mild all year long: January, the coolest month, has an average high of 75 F (24 C) and low of 44 F (7 C); and for May, the warmest month, the high averages 89 F (32C), the low 57 F (14 C). Tlaquepaque usually receives a mere 36 inches (91 cm) of rain per year. Most of it falls between June and September, which explains why the summer months are somewhat cooler than late spring. You can find climate information here. During the rainy season, great cumulous clouds often pile up in the mountains and bring a late afternoon shower—or downpour! Afterwards the sky typically clears in time for sunset and all is refreshed and clean.
