The climate in Guatemala

In the highlands in central Guatemala the temperature is, depending on the elevation, 5 to 10 degrees lower than at the coast. At night it may even freeze. The north, the Péten region, is very wet. From February to April is the least precipitation. In March and April is very hot.
