Abstract
Rogation ceremony records have also shown regional differences within Central Mexico, during the D.m. the Western part of this area shows a more humid pattern during its first stage, but after 1800, the Eastern part shows more rainfall than the Western one. Furthermore, rogation ceremony records, because of their precise dating, can show us if rainy seasons were late, if falls and winters were very dry and can even prove the intensity and duration of canículas (mid rain season dry periods common in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean), warm and dry spells that can compromise summer time food production, specially maize harvesting.
