Tacubaya Central (Obs) is station 9048 in Miguel Hidalgo, at 2,308.6 metres, WMO number 76680. The country sheet uses this same station and says so. Here the table is about the city: mild afternoons in the normal, cool nights, and a summer concentration of rain.

The altitude is the packing fact. A day that looks warm in the high can end cold in the low, which is why the minimum column matters as much as the maximum. An older WMO file distributed by NCEI does not match this SMN issue. We use the SMN file dated 6 November 2026, and the difference is logged rather than averaged.

Month by month

The highest average daily high is 27.5°C in April. The lowest average daily low is 8.3°C in January. The heaviest month in the water column is August at 175.6 mm, and the lightest is December at 5 mm. These sentences only restate the table. They are not a ranking of the best month to go.

Driving side

Article 109 of the federal highway regulation, as published in the Diario Oficial on 22 November 2012, says vehicles are to be driven in the right-hand lane of a federal highway, except when overtaking, when the road is too narrow for two lanes, when the right side is blocked, on the three-lane case the article describes, or on a one-way road. This is the federal highway rule, not a city bylaw.

Tap water

CDC's traveler page for Mexico, last reviewed 3 September 2026, does not say whether tap water is safe or unsafe. It says food and water standards vary by destination and by what you are doing, and it points readers to CDC's food and water precautions. This page does not turn that into medical advice.
