Mexico has one of the greatest climate diversities in the world. It is divided in half by the Tropic of Cancer; has the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean and has the Gulf of Mexico and of California. It has lowlands and mountainous regions, which makes it one of the most climatically diverse countries.
