It is agreed upon by many Mexicans that Chiapas has the best weather conditions in all of Mexico. This is probably due to the high elevation, which diminishes some of the overwhelming heat that is present in the lower tropical regions. Chiapas even gets cold, particularly at night. It is not as humid as the rest of Mexico.
