Lifestyle & Living insights for June
Insights and tips for better living & lifestyle in Mexico.
Summer light & rains — June 21st marks the start of summer in Mexico. The unmistakable signature scent of the first heavy rains falling onto dry earth serve as a harbinger that the dry season is ending. Summer brings refreshing rains across the mainland, propelling new life and spectacular colors accompanied by an indefinable range of fragrances as the flora bloom and flourish. The extraordinary light extends into the evenings here, even without clock changes. Summer is outstanding in Mexico… enjoy!
Mexico’s June elections — Mexicans go to the polls on June 2nd to elect 500 congressional seats, 128 senate seats, and governorships in nine of the country’s 32 states. However, the main interest in June’s elections is the presidential race—in which there are three candidates.
Mainland on the cusp of the rain season — The dry season across Mexico’s mainland, that peaks during April and May, is starting to break as rain storms begin to arrive in some regions. The earliest seasonal storms are rarely strong enough to puncture the dry crust across the landscapes, but they are a reminder that change is imminent. Wind storms usually appear during the transition period, and we have tips for living well through the rain season in Mexico.
Health insurance choices — Some readers have been writing to ask about alternatives to private health insurance. Legal foreign residents can enroll in Mexico’s state-run healthcare system IMSS, and Americans living in Mexico with healthcare plans in the US may consider a Medical Evacuation plan that will get them to a hospital of their choice in the event of a major incident. For more details, read this overview of the choices for health insurance in Mexico.

Dressing against the mosquitoes — Mosquitoes are most prevalent in Mexico between April and November. Their numbers swell during the rainy season (June to October) as the females are driven to fetch blood that contains the iron they need to produce their eggs. We offer practical advice for dealing with mosquitoes in Mexico.
Caring for the spaces where you dwell — With the rain season arriving it’s a good time to make last-minute cross checks around your house and home for any maintenance and repairs that might need attendance ahead of the storms—that can also include hurricanes. Our section about Home Stewardship in Mexico offers in-depth local knowledge and advice to keep your house and home safe and in good shape. Consider insuring your Mexican home to mitigate the financial costs of unforeseen events caused by burglary, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.
Document translations — Any documents that need to be translated into Spanish for an official procedure in Mexico (usually for residency purposes, but there are others) must be translated by a “perito” translator, certified by the Mexican Judiciary. Our article about translating documents into Spanish for use in Mexico offers guidance and connections.
Approaches to lifestyle choices… and changes — How you approach a potential move to Mexico, or approach changes to your lifestyle if you’re already here, will usually depend on your personality and the evolving priorities of your life situation. Our articles on the subject offer meaningful insights and guidance.
