| The central part of Michoacan has a desert-like climate. Temperatures are usually very hot and there is very little rain throughout the year. The Balsas and the Tepalcatepec Rivers create green valleys, a beautiful and impressive sight. |

| Just before reaching the coast a range of mountains creates a distinct climate zone. More annual rainfall, slightly cooler temperatures, and thicker vegetation are characteristics of this region. This is the least populated part of the state and home to its biggest rivers. |

| The coast of Michoacan is tropical. The coast enjoys idilic conditions from October to May. The rains come during June to September. This climate zone provides the perfect setting for growing mango, banana, papaya and other tropical fruit. |
