Rate the Climate: Merida, Yucatan, Mexico (warmest, averages, temp, days)

C. Too warm for too long, at least it isn't dry, and the thought of growing all different kinds of tropical fruit is appealing.

I gave it a D. Tropical climate with an endless summer. Too rainy and humid year round. Not to mention prone to hurricanes this time of year.

I would assume it only gets that low for a few hours in the early morning, so when you go to bed, it'd still be uncomfortably hot in the room from the day's heat (assuming there's no A/C). Best temperature for sleeping weather is 60 F and below, IMO. Even when it's in the 50s, I still use a fan.

You're right. The low is reached around 3 AM, long after most people are asleep. It's still humid and in the 70s-80s till about midnight

And, not everyone is from Nice, LOL?

That's right I was referring to Nice as my hometown, but that's also true for a vast part of the US, Asia, southern Europe, Australia, etc in summer

Once again, not everyone lives in a place where summer lows are regularly above 20C, so forgive those of us who don't for not being accustomed to those kind of temperatures.

I don't think those who live in hot climates get used to lows above 20 C either considering they use A/C all summer. If I don't turn the A/C on during warmer nights, my quality of sleep declines.

10 C sounds like a perfect summer time low

I live in a place with overnight lows of 25-27C during the summer and I've never gotten used to it..

[ChesterNZ]

Average summer lows are in the low 50s here so sleeping is never uncomfortable. There are maybe one or two nights a year that I sleep with my window open when the overnight low is 65 F or so (but nor'west winds might keep the temp 70+ F until early morning).

I've been to places where lows where in the mid 70s and I slept outside very comfortably.

10°C lows feel cold in winter already, let alone in summer - totally creepy imo.
