- Good morning, can I help you?

- Yes. I`d like some information about the climate in Mexico.

- Any special part of the country?

- Well, I`d like to visit the capital, Mexico City, and then later the Yucatan area.

- Aha. Well, in general, Mexico has two different seasons, one wet and one dry.

- Which months are they?

- The dry season is from late November to early June. That`s when most people visit the country.

- November to June – OK.

- And the wet season is the other six months, from June to November.

- Fine. What`s it like in the capital?

- Well, it`s usually cool at night and in the morning, it gets warmer in the afternoons.

- And the rain?

- June to September are the wettest months.

- OK. And how about in Yucatan?

- Well, that`s very diferrent. It`s generally hotter and wetter there.

- Oh, I see. What kind of temperatures are we talking about?

- About 25 degrees on the coast, but between 35 and 40 in land.

- So if I want to visit the Maya ruins at Chichen Itza?

- It`s much hotter there, yes.

- And rain?

- Well, there`s much more rain in Yucatan than in the capital. European travelers usually find it very uncomfortable.

- Right, thank you. So you think the best time to travel is between November and June?

- That`s right.

- Well, thank you very much.

- You`re very welcome.
