Xicotepec de Juárez's air quality reflects the Puebla Sierra Norte's Necaxa River valley at 1,110 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the coffee, orange, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create significant topographic enclosure, while the tropical highland climate's frequent rain provides effective atmospheric cleansing and Xicotepec generally maintains moderate to good Mexican eastern Sierra Norte highland valley readings throughout most of the year.
