Lifestyle & Living insights for July
Insights and tips for better living & lifestyle in Mexico.
Rains storms breaking the dry heat — As summer begins to unfold in earnest, the hot and brittle atmosphere of late spring is being rolled back as rain storms begin to sweep across Mexico’s mainland—bringing refreshment and transforming the color and scent of the landscape. Our section about the rain season in Mexico offers local insights, including tips for living well through the rain season.
Summer road trips — As schools break for their summer recess and families venture out together, Mexico’s roads and interstate highways can become busy and congested in places. Our articles and insights about driving in Mexico share key things you need to know before you take to the road, and our guide to auto insurance will help you to get the coverage you need for peace of mind when you’re driving.
Election weighs on Mexican peso — Mexico’s currency, that appreciated in value against the US dollar since the summer of 2023 —and held those gains— began to slip back after Mexico’s election in June. Our article about the history of Mexico’s currency shares some perspective on the changing fortunes of Mexico’s peso through the years.
Residency support — If you’re planning to apply for residency in Mexico this detailed outline of the process helps you to map out the journey. Check your existing residency cards for their renewal date to avoid having to deal with expired cards.

Going where the weather suits your clothes — The weather and local climate affect us in many ways, everyday. If you’re thinking about living in Mexico, it’s worth considering how the climate varies by region and by season, and choosing a location in Mexico where you’ll feel comfortable all year round —not just on a vacation or during a seasonal visit— is a key decision to make as part of your lifestyle planning.
Insurance coverages for your lifestyle in Mexico — Learn about insurance coverages to support your lifestyle in Mexico and get quotes online for insurance services that can mitigate the economic effects of unforeseen events and provide practical and legal support through what can often be difficult situations.
Document apostilles and translations — This is a reminder than any official foreign-issued documents you present to government offices in Mexico as part of an application for residency or other services must be apostilled and translated into Spanish by translator certified by the Mexican Judiciary. Our articles about getting documents apostilled and translating documents into Spanish for use in Mexico offer guidance and connections.
Brewing-up some summer refreshment — Independent regional Mexican brewers are making a noticeable comeback and some refreshing and tasty craft Mexican beers may be available at your local restaurant.
Wind storms and electricity — The peak period of the rainy season can bring sudden wind storms which can appear from nowhere and they, coupled with torrential rainstorms, can cause local power cuts. Our article about dealing with electrical power cuts in Mexico shares insights and practical advice.
