Here is an interesting nadir perspective from Susan Milbrath as noted in her book “Star Gods of the Maya.”
 
“Just as the first solar zenith is important because it coincides approximately with the onset of the rainy season in Mesoamerica, a complimentary event known as the second solar nadir coincides with the beginning of the dry season. For example, at the latitude of Chichen Itza (20 degrees 41 minutes) the sun reaches its solar nadir on November 22 and on January 21 in the Gregorian calendar. Further south, at 18 degrees N latitude, the second solar nadir falls on January 30. The contemporary Quiche Maya determine the date of the nadir by watching the full moon pass overhead at midnight.”
