Rainy days of December
It doesn’t often rain in December, but Guadalajara’s top weather man Angel Muelenert says we should expect precipitation throughout the winter season.
“It has been raining as a result of the humidity entering the Pacific and the atmospheric change brought on by El Niño,” he says.
Muelenert added that temperature may drop further toward the end of December.
