Operational closure profile

What makes the Mexico calendar operationally different

The country page now reads the holiday list as a planning surface: density, month clusters, type mix, and bridge-day pressure. These signals are derived from the same retained holiday rows rather than generic country copy.

Calendar density

moderate public-holiday calendar

Mexico has 7 public holidays in the rolling 12-month window and 9 total retained holiday rows across all types.

Bridge-day pressure

6 public holidays fall on Monday or Friday, so long weekends are already built into the calendar rather than needing bridge days.

Month clustering

Public holidays cluster most strongly in January (1), February (1), March (1), April (1).

Dataset type mix

Dataset type mix is led by 7 public entries; next strongest is 2 bank. This is separate from legal closure strength; always confirm local substitution and sector rules.

Substitution boundary

Boundary

0 public holidays land on weekends in the rolling window. Substitute weekdays are not invented unless they exist as source rows.

Practical use cases

Operational closure planning

Use the density, weekday rhythm, bridge-day, gap, and cluster signals to see when the calendar is likely to interrupt ordinary work weeks.

Travel and staffing

Pair the holiday calendar with the country time and airport-country pages before scheduling travel, support shifts, launches, or regional handoffs.

Cross-country comparison

Use the peer table to check whether a holiday-heavy week is specific to this country or part of a broader regional closure pattern.

Trust boundaries

Not legal advice: The page is a reference calendar. Regional, sector, employer, school, bank, and substitute-day rules may differ from the national rows shown here.
Heuristic classification: Religious/civic/cultural labels are generated from transparent keyword matching and should be treated as reading aids, not official taxonomy.

Cross-country comparison

Mexico versus regional peers

Peer countries are picked from the same continent (America) by holiday-name overlap with Mexico, then ranked by the strongest shared calendar fraction.

Country	Public holidays (next 12 mo)	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun
Mexico	7	3	0	1	0	3	0	0
Costa Rica	11	0	2	0	1	3	3	2
Honduras	11	1	1	2	1	3	3	0
Jamaica	10	1	0	1	1	4	2	1

Public-holiday practice can vary by region, sector, and employer. Use official government or workplace calendars for legal closure decisions.

Holiday calendar method

How we calculate this: We load the current and next-year holiday rows for MX, intersect them with the next 365 days, classify each public-holiday row with a transparent keyword heuristic (religious / civic / cultural / other), and derive the weekday distribution, longest holiday-free stretch, and longest consecutive-holiday cluster (counting weekends adjacent to public-holiday dates).
Data sources: Holiday rows from the curated holiday catalog (src/data/holidays.json); country roster, ISO MX, and timezones from src/data/countries.json; DST observance from the IANA tzdata mirror in src/data/zones.json. Peer-country selection uses same-continent overlap on the holiday-slug set.
Update cadence: Page revalidates daily (revalidate = 86400) so the year-pattern card, next-holiday signal, and peer-comparison counts stay current.
