Mexico’s weather is broadly split between a dry season (November–April) and a wet season (May–October), with coastal resorts like Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum staying warm year-round. The live forecast above shows current conditions for your chosen destination.
What is the best time to visit Mexico for good weather?
The dry season from December to April offers the most reliable sunshine, particularly along the Riviera Maya and in Cozumel. This coincides with the UK winter school holidays, so book early for value. Shoulder months—November and May—still see fine weather with fewer crowds. The wet season brings afternoon showers, but temperatures remain high, and accommodation is cheaper.
What should I pack for Mexico’s climate?
Lightweight, breathable clothing works for coastal areas like Cancún and Tulum all year. A rain jacket or umbrella is wise from June to October. For inland or high-altitude cities (Mexico City, Oaxaca), pack a jumper or light jacket for cooler evenings. Sun protection, insect repellent and a reusable water bottle are essential.
Is Mexico hot all year round?
Coastal resorts like Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel stay warm year-round, with average highs of 27–33°C. Inland and highland areas are cooler, especially from November to February.
When is the rainy season in Mexico?
The rainy season runs from May to October, with the heaviest rainfall typically in September and October. Showers are often short and intense, usually in the afternoon, and the sun returns quickly.
What is the weather in Mexico for 10 days?
