Tropical humid climate spanning Gulf coast to highland interior; Gulf moisture, Atlantic hurricane season, and orographic lift where the coastal plain meets the Sierra Madre Oriental combine to produce the near-constant highland drizzle known locally as 'chipi-chipi', which tends to produce narrow, localized storm cells rather than broad, uniform rain across Veracruz. A standard forecast can't capture that kind of variation.
