Linares in Nuevo León reflects the greater Monterrey metropolitan area's southeastern foothills corridor in the Sierra Madre Oriental, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the citrus, manufacturing, and services corridor contributing local sources. The Sierra Madre Oriental creates topographic variation on the valley's eastern escarpment, while the Monterrey metropolitan regional background influences the corridor and Linares generally maintains moderate northeastern Mexican mountain foothills corridor readings throughout most of the year.
