San Pedro Sula, Honduras sits in the Ulua River valley on the northwestern part of Honduras. The Ulua River passes through the Sula valley in proximity to San Pedro Sula. This area is known as the industrial center of Honduras.
San Pedro Sula is also nestled by the Merendon Mountain range that sits along the eastern border of Honduras.
San Pedro Sula, Honduras is effected by hurricanes due to convergence of the trade winds, known as the ITCZ and the doldrums in the equatorial region. The ITCZ annually moves north and south effecting San Pedro Sula during specific times of the year.
Dominating air masses of the area are mT and E; these air masses keep San Pedro Sula at a steady hot and humid climate with yearly precipitation.
A large depression, known as the Sula Valley, runes through Honduras from the Caribbean Sea to the Golfo de Fonseca, and is drained by the Ulua,
Chamelicon, and Colorado rivers. This depression splits the country's cordilleras into eastern and
western parts. The depression is widest at its northern end near San Pedro Sula, it narrows as it follows the upper course of the Río Humuya and then widens again as it runs along the border of El Salvador into the Golfo de Fonseca.
Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport Aeropuerto Internacional Ramón Villeda Morales (IATA: SAP, ICAO: MHLM), also known as La Mesa International Airport, is located 11 km (6.8 mi) from the city of San Pedro Sula, in the Cortés Department in Honduras within the Sula valley.
San Pedro Sula is the industrial capital of Honduras, with most of the country's exports and major ports located in the Sula valley most travel goes through this area. Many crops are raised due to the fertile land in the Caribbean coastal plains. There are also large amounts of foreign factories located in San Pedro Sula. San Pedro Sula is also the second largest city in Honduras, housing half of the population making up the country. The MHLM location is probaby effected by these attributes because it is located close to the city and industrial areas.The climate is also modified somewhat by the shape and position of the shore
and by the proximity of the mountains, as well as by the prevailing
winds.
Temperature trends show overall steady temperatures for a recorded history of 18 years.
