Why does the ranking follow the heat of the surface?
All 740 zones take air and rain from the same meteorological station, Jesus Del Monte on the map. In August that station reads 15.9°C air and 127.1 mm of rain. Because the air is the same in every zone, this month's order follows ground temperature.
The August mean for Morelia sits at 25.6°C. A single satellite day can run cooler or hotter: on 27 August the temperature reached 0.1°C, and on 19 August it reached 49.6°C.
These figures are the August mean for Morelia: 25.6°C ground. Air and rain come from the station: 15.9°C and 127.1 mm.
The ground sits hotter than the air: 25.6°C surface against 15.9°C. The index is ordered with both readings.
Centro sits near the hot end
Centro sits in 734th place of 740, at a temperature of 39.1°C on average, next to the worst five, while Jesus Del Monte sits in 155th place, at a temperature of 30.8°C, where the station is. Anyone looking for cooler ground this August looks toward La Palmita, Aracurio and the west edge of the municipality.
