As
you reach Lake Chapala you arrive from a position
of height; and spread out before you is a 60
mile lake, fringed by a number of towns and
villages, and surrounded by green rolling mountains.
The climate of the area is a main attraction.
The towns of Chapala, San Nicolas, Ajijic, San
Antonio, San Juan Cosala and Jocotepec, have
their temperatures moderated by this large body
of water. Temperatures range in the seventies
and eighties, so neither heating nor air conditioning
is required year-round. There is a rainy season
in late summer and early fall during which the
mountains explode in color and the majority
of rainfall is at night. These villages on the
lake have close to perfect weather all year
round. The warmest month is May with an average
high of 30C (87F) and a low of 18C (65F). The
high for January is 22C (68F) and a low 13C
(55F). In the rainy season the average humidity
does not exceed 68%, nor does it go below 52%
during the year. Such a climate is bound to
be beneficial and healthful.
