Climate and Location

         Because of where the Aztecs lived it had an huge effect on what kind of weather they had. The Aztecs were known as a Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. They called themselves Mexica. The capital of the Aztec empire was Tenochtitlan. It was built on raised island in Lake Texcoco. The Aztec lived in the Valley of Mexico in South-Central Mexico. The empire stretched for more than 80,000 square miles through many parts of what is now central and southern Mexico. It reached from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf coast and from central Mexico to the present-day Republic of Guatemala. Because of the high altitude of the Aztec's mainland, it was cool. The average was around 12 degrees Celsius. This made there area only good for limited amounts of crops and because there was also frost sometimes, the crops could easily die. The rainy season the Aztecs experienced lasted from May to October. The rainfall amount was about 450 mm in the north and up to 1000 mm in the south.
