HabitatElevation ProfilePrecipitation ProfileTemperature ProfileHumidity ProfileSolar Radiation ProfileWind Speed ProfileMerostachys caucaiana is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 18.3°C and precipitation of 1678 mm. Temperatures show considerable seasonality (standard deviation ~276.2), varying from 26.2°C in the warmest month to 9.4°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~53.8). Precipitation shows moderate seasonality (coefficient of variation ~38.1), varying from 262 mm in the wettest month to 43 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 745 mm) and driest (totaling 147 mm) quarters being 19.4°C and 16.6°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (22.3°C) and coolest (14.2°C) quarters being 603 mm and 259 mm, respectively.
