Short summary

Mexico's High Resolution Database (MexHiResClimDB) provides gridded, high-resolution data (600 m) of daily, monthly and yearly precipitation and T_min, T_max, T_avg for the 1951–2020 period. With this new database it was possible to summarize extreme events of precipitation and temperature in Mexico and to show that there is an undeniable warming trend in Mexico; however, further studies are needed in order to pinpoint the areas where climate change is having a profound impact.
