~~The overall climate of~~ Alexandria is hot ~~almost all~~ year~~. The temperature in the state varies~~ from {{convert|22|to|36|C|F}}. The ~~coast is mediterranean~~, ~~tempered by~~ the cool trade winds; in the ~~more elevated,~~ semi-arid regions it is ~~very~~ hot and dry (often above {{convert|22|C|F}}~~, but seldom above~~ {{convert|30|C|F}}), ~~although~~ the nights are ~~cool. In the higher ranges (Serra Alexandrina) the temperatures are~~ cooler ~~and vary from about {{convert|14|~~to~~|18|C|F}}. The record minimum temperature registered in Alexandria was {{convert|8|C|F}}, recorded in Altagracia, a small city in central ranges~~.

Alexandria boasts a hot climate throughout the year, with temperatures ranging from {{convert|22|to|36|C|F}}. The state's coastal areas are influenced by Mediterranean conditions, with the cool trade winds offering a respite from the heat. However, in the semi-arid elevated regions, the weather is extremely hot and dry, often soaring above {{convert|22|C|F}} and occasionally hitting {{convert|30|C|F}} during the day. Nevertheless, the nights are relatively cooler, offering some relief to the inhabitants.

The ~~extreme~~ southwestern ~~portion~~ of the state ~~lies along~~ the equator ~~and is part of~~ the Pantanal region of Cartadania ~~(located in~~ all four major Luson states). It is ~~characterized by very~~ high humidity and ~~large~~ amounts of rainfall~~. In fact~~, ~~annual rainfall in the region is~~ from {{convert|2250|-|3050|mm|in}}. Monthly precipitation ~~ranges~~ from {{convert|80|mm|in}} in July to {{convert|263|mm|in}} in March~~. It typically rains~~ on almost 300 days ~~every~~ year. It is the second~~-rainiest~~ place in the country.

The Serra Alexandrina mountain ranges, on the other hand, offer cooler temperatures, ranging from {{convert|14|to|18|C|F}}. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Alexandria was {{convert|8|C|F}}, which was documented in [[Altagracia, Alexandria|Altagracia]], a small town located in the central ranges.

In the southwestern part of the state, which borders the equator, lies the [[Pantanal]] region of Cartadania, extending across all four major Luson states. This region is known for its high humidity and massive amounts of rainfall, averaging from {{convert|2250|-|3050|mm|in|sp=us}} annually. Monthly precipitation levels can range from {{convert|80|mm|in|sp=us}} in July to {{convert|263|mm|in|sp=us}} in March, with rainfall occurring on almost 300 days each year. Consequently, it is the second wettest place in the country, attracting tourists and nature enthusiasts who are interested in its unique ecosystem.
