Municipal Climate Indicators for Mexico Derived from Reanalysis, 2000-2024

2000-2024 municipal-level climate data for Mexico, derived from the Copernicus Climate Data Store Agrometeorological indicators reanalysis. The dataset includes daily variables such as air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed, aggregated annually and matched to municipalities. It was compiled by Ernesto Adair Zepeda Villarreal and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling crop yields based on daily temperature and precipitation data
• Assessing regional climate change impacts using long-term temperature and humidity trends
• Analyzing renewable energy potential from solar radiation and wind speed measurements
• Studying municipal-level water resource management using precipitation and humidity variables

Strengths

• Sourced from the authoritative Copernicus Climate Data Store reanalysis product
• Covers a 25-year time range from 2000 to 2024
• Includes five core climate variables at daily resolution
• Spatially matched to municipalities for local analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source reanalysis model
