Best Time to Visit Mexico: Month by Month Breakdown

Mexico is a vast country and there is a huge range of seasons and climates across the different regions.

The weather can be roughly split into a wet and a dry season, although this mostly counts in the tropical regions south of Mexico City.

The north has a more arid, desert-like climate, while the central regions are at high altitude and enjoy much cooler weather than the rest of Mexico.

Mexico also has distinct low and high seasons when it comes to tourism, especially in touristy destinations like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. These generally coincide with the wet and dry seasons too.

Mexico Dry Season

Luxury resort pool in the Maya Riviera Mexico

The dry season is the best time to visit Mexico, and it falls between November and April.

This is peak season, so you can expect things to be busy, especially over Christmas, but Mexico is such a vast country that you can always find a way to escape the crowds.

Here’s our month by month breakdown for Mexico’s dry season.

Novem b er in Mexico

Swimming with the Whale Sharks in Mexico

November is the start of the dry season, and for travelers, this could be the best time to visit Mexico.

Prices are still low and tourist numbers are still small compared to what’s going to hit the top destinations in December. This is a good time to visit popular destinations like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Puerto Vallarta, as you’ll find some great deals on flights and accommodation.

As the rainy season has only just ended, it’s not the best time for diving yet, but head to Baja California and you’ll catch the start of the Whale Shark season.

Tropical Yucatan is getting much cooler and a lot less humid, so now is the time to explore the jungles and to visit those lost Mayan Ruins without working up too much of a sweat.

December in Mexico

Luxury Resort in the Maya Riviera Mexico

Weather-wise, December is easily the best time to visit Mexico. However, everyone else has the same idea too, and December is the worst time to visit Mexico if you’re looking for a quiet vacation away from the crowds!

In December, especially over Christmas and New Year, the resorts of Cancun and the Maya Riviera are packed out and prices are at their peak. It’s no different in other popular tourist spots either, such as Puerto Vallarta or Baja California.

The weather is crisp, sunny and dry though, and you’re not likely to have a single rainy day. If you’re not having a beach holiday though, then take a trip to explore the indigenous culture of Oaxaca or Chiapas where you can find beautiful weather.

January in Mexico

January is just as busy as December, at least for the first two weeks. This is peak season across Mexico, especially in Cancun and along the Pacific Coast.

Travel to Mexico towards the end of January though and you can start to get a few good deals again, as the crowds start to thin out.

Weather-wise this is a great time to explore the south, so enjoy the dry weather along the coast, and visit Mayan archeological sites like Palenque or Chichen Itza.

Mexico City is lovely in January, as are the central highlands, although it can get chilly at night.

February in Mexico

In February the weather starts to get hotter, especially in the tropical south. Up north and in the mountains it’s still very cool, however.

You can expect the odd rain shower across the country but for the most part, this is still a beautiful time to travel around Mexico .

You’ll get lower prices in Cancun while the diving and snorkeling off the coast of Cozumel Island is glorious, with sparkling clear water.

This is the perfect time to visit Baja California, on the Pacific Coast, where you’ll be right in the middle of the whale watching season, and you’ll have the chance to swim with Whale Sharks.

March in Mexico

March brings a mixed bag when it comes to crowds and the weather. This can be the middle of Spring Break, so it’s a good idea to avoid the big tourist hotspots if this isn’t your scene. If you’re looking to party though, then head straight to Cancun or Tijuana.

Equally, if Easter falls in March then it can be busy everywhere, although this is a great time to soak up the local culture during Semana Santa, the holy week.

Weatherwise, it can be a little more unpredictable. The south sees more rain while the north is heating up and seeing a few thunderstorms too.

April in Mexico

David Stock Jr of Divergent Travelers Adventure Travel blog exploring cenotes in Mexico

Like March, it can be a little unpredictable in April too, so plan your trip in advance to avoid spring break dates or Easter holidays, which can both fall this time of the year.

April is the last month of the dry season, although you will see the weather starting to turn. The colder winter months are over and summer is on the way, which means that along with the rain it’s getting much hotter, everywhere.

This is your last chance to see the whales and Whale Sharks in Baja California before they move on for the summer, and it’s the last chance to get really good visibility and diving conditions around Cozumel Island and along the Maya Riviera.

As the weather heats up, this is a great time to start exploring those high altitude destinations in Central Mexico, such as Guanajuato or San Miguel de Allende, where you can escape the heat.

Mexico Wet Season

Mexico’s wet season runs from May through to October, however, this varies across the country. The south sees the most rain, and hurricanes can lash the coastlines.

It’s cooler and drier in the north this time of the year, where the climate isn’t tropical. The wet season is not the best time to visit the south of Mexico, but there are still plenty of great deals and places to explore outside of this traditional tourist hotspot.

May in Mexico

May is officially the start of the wet season, and you can guarantee that it’s going to be hot and it’s probably going to be rainy.

This is a good month for shoulder season travel though because you can avoid the high season crowds in places like Cancun or the Pacific Coast.

It’s fine if you don’t mind a little humidity and have a swimming pool to cool off in because you’ll only get a few hours of rain a day at most.

It’s even better in Baja California, where you can enjoy dry weather for most of May, while temperatures soar into the 30s. Mexico City has cooler weather, and it feels like it’s summer, making the capital a great option in May.

June in Mexico

June is not the best time to visit Mexico, although you can get some cheap deals on flights and hotels.

The reason it’s cheap though is because it’s the start of hurricane season. While hurricanes are rare, it’s definitely going to rain, although if you don’t mind risking that for a few hours a day it might be worth it

Instead of going to the coast though, stick to the central highlands, where it’s much cooler and there’s much less rain.

July in Mexico

July is just as hot and rainy, and while you can get cheap deals at the resorts and great value flights across the country, it’s really not the best time to visit Mexico.

Hurricanes can hit the Caribbean and Pacific Coast, while everywhere is hot, stuffy and humid.

You get the best weather in Baja California, but make sure you have a swimming pool where you can cool off.

The other option is to stay at altitude, as you’ll find that while Central Mexico is hot, it’s not quite as hot as the coast – especially at night time.

August in Mexico

In August, it’s still going to be uncomfortably hot across Mexico, although temperatures will start to cool off slightly, especially in the higher altitude areas of the country around Mexico City.

This is still very much hurricane season, so be prepared for this if you’re traveling to Cancun or the Pacific Coast in August.

On the plus side, there are few other vacationers around in August and the prices can be very low, on both flights and hotels!

September in Mexico

In September, things are starting to look up again when it comes to the weather. This is still the rainy season, but the worst is behind you, and September can be a great time to escape the crowds and score some good deals.

It’s a good time to be in Mexico City, where the rain is slack anyway and the high altitude means cooler climes.

It’s also Independence day in September, so you can expect plenty of parades and fiestas.

October in Mexico

October is the best time to visit Mexico because of the Day of the Dead.

In October, it’s the last month of the rainy season and the hurricane season, and actually this can be the best time to visit Mexico.

Rainfall will be minimal, but prices are still low, so head to the beaches and make the most of the deals before the high season crowds arrive in November and December.

As a bonus, the end of October is also when you’ll be able to celebrate Day of the Dead across Mexico.

The Best Time to Visit Mexico for Good Weather and Affordable Prices

Here are the best times to go to Mexico for idyllic weather, wildlife sightings, major festivals, and more.

Anne Olivia Bauso is a travel writer and hotel expert based in New York City. She has written hundreds of hotel reviews, from 5-star Ritz-Carlton properties to treehouse eco-resorts in the jungle.

Mexico has earned its status as one of the most-visited destinations in the world. Nailing down the best time to visit completely depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. This is a giant country with microclimates and a staggeringly diverse topography: There are golden beaches and rugged canyons, sultry cities and high-altitude colonial towns. You may bask on a jungle-backed beach by day and cozy up to a fireplace in the mountains by night. With all these options to consider, it can be helpful to know your way around Mexico's tourist calendar:

High Season: December to April
Shoulder Season: July and August
Low Seasons: May and June, plus September to November

Whether you're seeking balmy beaches, affordable flights and hotels, stunning wildlife, or colorful fiestas, these are the best times to visit Mexico for every type of getaway.

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Smaller Crowds

If you want to avoid crowds in Mexico, you should almost always skip the popular winter and early spring months. May and June, after the spring breakers have cleared out but before summer travelers have filtered in, can be pleasantly uncrowded, as can the fall.

These less-crowded months do correspond with the rainy season (which runs from June to October), but that might not be as bad as you think. The rain usually comes in the form of short afternoon storms, bookended by stretches of sun. These brief showers can be a welcome relief from the heat and humidity — and they offer a nice time for a siesta.

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Good Weather

The dry-season months of November to March promise the nicest, balmiest weather in most parts of Mexico — though those dreamy conditions do bring with them higher prices and larger crowds. On a regional level, though, you can find pleasant climes at many different times of year. Mexico's coastal hot spots, like Cancun and Los Cabos , offer warmth and sun almost year-round, while high-elevation Mexico City boasts consistently mild temperatures and plenty of indoor activities to enjoy when the rainy season hits.

Dry, warm November may be the ideal month to visit Mexico overall, offering a sweet spot between the heavy fall rains and the beginning of the busy season. (Other November pros: depending on your timing and whereabouts, you might catch Día de los Muertos festivities or the magnificent monarch butterfly migration.)

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Lower Prices

Airfare and accommodation prices tend to mirror the high and low seasons. Flights, hotels, and other travel expenses can surge starting in mid-December, when visitors from the U.S. escape the frigid winter weather and take advantage of the holiday break. Conversely, you can typically save on travel costs by booking during the off-season when demand is lower.

August, September, and October are the wettest months in Mexico. If you're willing to risk these less-than-ideal conditions — particularly in September, which is the peak of the Mexican hurricane season — your airfare and hotel costs should be correspondingly low.

Finally, even though it falls in the high season, January is a great option for lower-cost travel. There are often good deals to be found after the New Year holiday and before the winter and spring break frenzy, which begins in February.

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Whale Watching

At various points in the year, migrating whales spend time in the warm waters off both Mexican shorelines. From December to March, travelers to Baja or elsewhere on the Pacific coast might spot humpback, gray, and even enigmatic blue whales on their epic ocean journeys. Humpbacks love sheltered Bahía de Banderas off Puerto Vallarta; the best times to see them are January and February. In general, lovers of marine life will be in luck for most of the west coast's peak season. Between November and April, you can snorkel with whale sharks off Espíritu Santo Island or dive the protected waters of Cabo Pulmo (one of just three coral reefs on the west coast).

On the opposite coast, whale sharks are the species you're likeliest to spot. Their season lasts from mid-May to mid-September on Mexico's eastern shores, with a peak in June and July. From Cancun , travelers can take a boat tour to Isla Holbox or Isla Contoy to swim with whale sharks and other sea creatures such as manta rays, turtles, and dolphins.

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Surfing

The Pacific Ocean drums up fantastic swells along Mexico's west coast all year long. More experienced surfers will find the biggest, most consistent waves from May to October (peak surf season, coinciding with hurricane season), especially in July and August.

Some of Mexico's best waves pound the breezy Baja Peninsula, but waters are quite nippy here in the winter months. Further south, Nayarit, Barra de Nexpa, Troncones, and Puerto Escondido (home to the world-famous Mexican Pipeline) benefit from the Pacific's powerful barreling surf, but their waters remain warm all year.

Best Times to See Mexico's Butterfly Migration

Every fall, millions of monarch butterflies migrate to central Mexico , where they winter in pine and fir trees in the state of Michoacán. The sight of these brilliant golden-orange butterflies covering the mountain forest and fluttering against the bright blue winter sky is truly magical, and worth planning a trip around.

To witness the yearly phenomenon, visit one of many sanctuaries within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve between November (ideally mid-November, once more butterflies have settled in) and March. At nearly all of the sanctuaries, you can hike, horseback ride, or bike to see the butterflies in their wooded habitat. At some, you can even zip-line back down the mountain. The afternoon, when the air is warmer and the butterflies dance among the trees, is the perfect time of day to visit the sanctuaries.

Best Times to Visit Mexico for Festivals

Mexico offers countless celebrations and events to plan a trip around. Here are just a few:

Come Feb. 2, Candelaria (Candlemas) is a big deal in San Juan de los Lagos and Tlacotalpan, a colonial town on the Gulf.
Carnaval is the major February (or early March) event in Mexico, with the biggest parties in Mazatlán on the Pacific coast and Veracruz, Mérida, Cozumel, and Campeche on the Caribbean and Gulf coasts.
Mexico's most important holiday, Semana Santa (Holy Week), occurs in March or April; expect crowded hotels and transit and processions threading through the streets.
Foodies will love Puebla's Festival del Mole Poblano in June.
A colorful celebration of indigenous dance and music, the Guelaguetza festival occurs in Oaxaca City and neighboring villages in late July.
Mexico's Independence Day in September is toasted with dancing, parades, and fireworks.
October sees several big annual events: the Cervantino arts bash in vibrant Guanajuato, the Morelia International Film Festival in Michoacán's UNESCO-listed capital, and the all-month extravaganza of Fiestas de Octubre in Guadalajara.
For many travelers, Day of the Dead (Nov. 1–2) is the crown jewel of the Mexican calendar. Festivities across the central and southern regions (and especially in Pátzcuaro) honor the departed with picnics, graveyard vigils, papier-mâché skeletons, and intricate dress and makeup.

Best Times to Visit Mexico's Canyon Country

The wild, rocky landscape of northwest Mexico's Copper Canyon — one of the deepest canyons in the world, and bigger than the Grand Canyon — is among the country's most spectacular sights, but the elements can be unforgiving. Spring (particularly March) and fall (particularly November, after the wet season) are the best bets to time a trip, with flowing rivers and waterfalls and mild temperatures throughout the canyons. A scenic train line called the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico (or Chepe ) cuts through the canyon, but if you want to ride, it's best to book your seat in advance.

Best Times to Go to Mexico City

To experience Mexico City 's weather at its best, time your trip in March, April, or May, before the rainy summer but after the winter months, when overnight temperatures can drop into the 30s. Spring temperatures linger in the 70s on average, with cooler evenings bottoming out in the mid-50s. The city will be busy with fellow travelers this time of year, but affordable hotel rates can still be found.

Jorge Castro/Travel + Leisure

Best Times to Go to Oaxaca

Spring and fall are the best times to head to the enchanting southern city of Oaxaca . April to May and September to October are blessed with idyllic weather (average temperatures in the low 70s and high 60s) and lighter crowds than at other times of year. June through August and the Christmas/New Year holiday season are the busiest periods for tourists. In late July, the Guelaguetza festival celebrates folk music and dance. If you're there around Christmastime, you'll coincide with Oaxaca City's yearly radish-carving competition, Noche de los Rábanos (Night of the Radishes).

Worst Times to Visit Mexico

The worst time to visit Mexico depends on one key question: Is your goal to have great weather or fewer crowds? Though best and worst times will vary by region, that general metric can be your guide. Crowd-averse travelers should avoid the popular spring season, and sun-seekers should skip summer and fall, which come with near-daily rain.

Vacationers seeking a peaceful coastal getaway will want to steer clear of March and April, when a huge influx of American college students and Mexican families arrive in resort areas like Cancun during spring break and the Semana Santa holidays. Beachgoers shouldn't fail, though, to consider the weather. Hurricane season — which stretches from June to November, with a peak in September and October — is a risky time to visit the Gulf and Caribbean coasts, and warming ocean waters each spring and summer bring seaweed masses that can put a damper on swimming and sunbathing.

For the best mix of pleasant weather and bearable crowds, try visiting in the off-peak, dry months of November and January.

Mexico › When to Go Updated: March 3, 2022

When to go to Mexico (summary) : The best time to visit Mexico is during the dry season between December and April when there is little rain and lots of sun. The coolest months are December, January, and February, although it’s usually still warm enough for swimming and sunbathing. The wet season begins in May and lasts until October on the West Coast and November on the East Coast.

When is the Best Time to Visit Mexico?

The beach resorts of Tulum , Mexico.

Best Time to Visit Mexico for the Beaches and Good Weather : The best time to visit Mexico’s beaches for warm weather, comfortable sea temperatures for swimming and smaller crowds, is generally December to May. On the Pacific side ( Los Cabos , Puerto Vallarta ), the rainy season comes to an end around mid-October, but tourists won’t start arriving in droves for at least another month or so, which means good weather and thin crowds through early December. The Yucatan Peninsula ( Cancun , Playa del Carmen , Tulum ) is still pretty wet until late November, but good bargains and pleasant weather can generally be found around the last couple of weeks of November and into early December. Travelers who prefer balmy days and cooler nights would do best to visit in January or February.
Best Time to Visit Mexico for the Bargains : If you’re searching for the very best deals, the best time to visit most areas of Mexico is during the heart of the hurricane or wet season: July through mid-November in the Yucatan, and August/September along the Pacific Coast; in some areas, like Baja, you might find good discounts beginning in mid-June with the onset of searing summer heat. During this time, everything from hotels and airfare to excursions will be at their cheapest prices of the year and you can potentially save hundreds of dollars. Mexico City and the interior is the exception, with the best bargains typically found during the colder months of the year, from November through mid-February, outside of the holiday period around Christmas through New Year’s.
Best Time to Visit Mexico for Whale Watching : Whale watching is popular along the Pacific coast of Mexico in places like Puerto Vallarta, where humpback whales begin to arrive in November, though peak time is in January and February, when you’re likely to see the humpback whale babies that are born in the area. The Baja Peninsula sees many whales during this time as well, and is especially known for gray whales, referred to as “friendlies,” as they frequently come close to boats to get a look at the passengers inside. Other whales that may be spotted include the humpbacks as well as minke, blue, long-finned pilot, fin, northern Pacific right and sperm whales.
Best Time to Visit Mexico to Party : The biggest party crowds come to Mexico, mainly to places like Cancun, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta around spring break, which can fall during various weeks mostly throughout the month of March, though sometimes into early April. This is when you’ll find the most happening nightlife and have the opportunity to meet up with college-age visitors. There’s often another spike in partygoers around late May through early July, when many high school graduates arrive, particularly in Cancun.

Mexico Travel Seasons

High Season (mid-December through Easter) : High season in most regions other than Mexico City and the interior, begins just before the Christmas holiday and extends through Easter. This is when the crowds are at their peak, room rates and airfare tend to be higher, and the weather is generally the best of the year, bringing an abundance of sunshine and little rain in most areas, with highs in the mid- to upper-20s and lows around a mild 21°C. Destinations that are inland and above 6000 feet, however, can get quite cool this time of year, and high elevation mountain peaks usually see at least a dusting of snow.
Shoulder Season (November and May) : Mexico doesn’t have much of a shoulder season, though November is somewhat of a transition between the low and high season; you may see a few more tourists, and there is some risk of a late hurricane or tropical storm (though these are more likely to occur between August and October). While it’s likely to be warm at any time of the year across Mexico, it’s often just right in November and May, with highs around 30°C, and sea temperatures a pleasant 28°C, ideal for swimming. In either month, there is likely to be some rain, but it often comes only in short spurts, with plenty of sun in between.
Low Season (June through October) : Low season is generally hurricane season, with its peak in August, September and October – other than in the interior of Mexico, which experiences its busy season in the summer months. The rain can be intense, but it’s typically over as quickly as it begun, which means you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy soaking up the sunshine on the beach. This is the best time of the year for avoiding the crowds and saving money, as properties are eager to fill up empty rooms and airfares are often at their lowest.

Mexico Weather by Month

Yucatan Weather in January : The Yucatan Peninsula enjoys a tropical climate and warm weather with fairly consistent temperatures year-round, though January is the coolest month of the year. It’s also one of the driest, a time where you’ll see plenty of sunshine and only a minimal amount of rain. You won’t have to worry about sea temperatures either, as the water averages a warm 27°C. The high temperature hovers around 28°C, and it generally won’t get any cooler than 21°C, even at night. You’ll avoid the hottest time of the year, but you’ll still need plenty of sunscreen, along with lightweight clothing, like shorts, skirts, tank tops, short-sleeved t-shirts and a swimsuit, as you would any time of year. You may also want to bring a light sweater or long-sleeved shirt and long pants, if you’re coming from a warm climate, as it might feel a bit cool in the evening. (Average Max Temperature: 28°C. Average Precipitation: 43mm.)
Baja Weather in January : January is the coldest month of the year in Baja, though it still enjoys pleasant average temperatures of 23°C, and afternoon highs may climb to 26°C. Expect an abundance of sunshine during the day for enjoying all of those outdoor activities, and little to no chance of rain, with just 13mm of precipitation this month. If you’re coming from a warm climate, you might find it a little too chilly for taking a dip in the water. Nights can get rather cool, even though the temperature only drops a few degrees, it can feel a lot colder when a breeze blows in. When visiting this month, pack lightweight clothing for warm days, as well as a light jacket or sweater for those cooler evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 26°C. Average Precipitation: 43mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in January : January on Mexico’s Pacific coast is one of the coldest months of the year like most other destinations in the country, but it still boasts fairly warm temperatures and abundant sunshine, due to its location near the equator. Afternoons reach an average high temperature of 29°C, and there is little chance for rain with just 23mm falling over two days this month. Nights will be cool, however, with temperatures dropping as low as 14°C. It’s a great time to visit for warm winter sun – which is why many other people are likely to be joining you. Pack for warm, sunny days and cool nights, by bringing sun protection, lightweight clothing and a light jacket or sweater. (Average Max Temperature: 26°C. Average Precipitation: 43mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in January : January is the second coldest month of the year in the interior region of Mexico, including Mexico City, but if you’re coming from a northern climate it’s likely to feel quite pleasant. While the average temperature hovers around 13°C, afternoons usually get quite warm, with high temperatures climbing to 21°C, and occasionally a few degrees higher. As this is the dry season and the sun is almost always shining, it often feels much warmer than what temperature reads. Nights, and especially early mornings, are likely to be quite brisk, as lows dip down to just 5°C, and frost is common. Pack a mix of clothing, including both short- and long-sleeve shirts along with a jacket and perhaps a couple of sweaters for those chilly mornings and late evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 21°C. Average Precipitation: 10mm.)
Yucatan Weather in February : There isn’t a noticeable change between January and February. Precipitation is just 3mm more at 46mm on average, and temperature increases only a degree to 29°C.

Pack as you would for January, with perhaps an item or two for cooler evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 29°C. Average Precipitation: 46mm.)
Baja Weather in February : Although January and February are quite similar, temperatures do warm several degrees this month. The high climbs to 29°C, while the average still hovers around a comfortable 20°C. There is even less of a chance of rain interrupting your activities with just 4mm of precipitation on average, thanks to Baja’s desert climate. Pack for lots of sun, and throw in a sweatshirt or light jacket for cooler evenings, or boat excursions, as this is the peak time for whale watching, Many people do enjoy swimming now, though some may find it a little too cool for their liking. (Average Max Temperature: 29°C. Average Precipitation: 4mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in February : There is very little change in February, in fact that high temperature remains the same as it was in January, at 29°C and lows dip down to 14°C. There is even less of a chance for rain with 10mm falling on just one day this month. This is t-shirts, tank tops and shorts weather, and it usually feels warm enough for ocean swimming too, with sea temperatures around 25°C. With the big difference between daytime and nighttime temps, don’t forget that sweatshirt or light jacket. (Average Max Temperature: 29°C. Average Precipitation: 10mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in February : The trend of mild, comfortably warm days and cold nights continues in Mexico’s interior region this month, with the average high temperature climbing a bit to 22°C, though some years it can get as warm as 30°C. It’s still the dry season with just 20mm of precipitation falling over three days in February, so you can look forward to an abundance of sunshine and blue skies. Pack as you would for January, with a mix of clothing, and don’t forget the sunscreen, especially in high elevation areas where the sun can get quite intense. (Average Max Temperature: 22°C. Average Precipitation: 20mm.)
Yucatan Weather in March : Temperatures are slightly increasing with the arrival of March. Afternoons may reach 30°C, while the average temperature has risen two degrees to 25°C. This month is even drier than February, seeing just 40mm of precipitation over four days. March is the most popular time to visit, especially in places like Cancun that tend to draw students who come to party during their spring break. With the low temperature at 22°C, you’re unlikely to need any cool weather clothing, but if you plan on going sailing, it might be a good idea to toss in a sweatshirt. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 40mm.)
Baja Weather in March : There isn’t much of a change over February, with afternoon highs now reaching 30°C and only 2mm of precipitation throughout the entire month. This is another very popular time to be in Baja, so don’t expect to find too many crowd-free spots unless you venture into the smaller towns up north or into the mountains. Pack as you would for last month, with mostly lightweight clothing and a few items for cooler nights and jaunts out on the water. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 2mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in March : Things are starting to heat up now even more now, with afternoon highs averaging 30°C, and occasionally a few degrees hotter, though nights are still cold, with the low remaining 14°C. Rain is unlikely with just 4mm of precipitation on average. The clubs and bars are likely to be packed with tourists, and beaches filled with lots of visitors too.

Average Precipitation: 4mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in March : It’s warming even more noticeably now, with the arrival of spring this month. Not only can you expect to enjoy very pleasant temperatures, with highs now reaching 24°C and occasional afternoons close to 30°C, but the beautiful flowering jacarandas will be in bloom. Late nights and early mornings will still be quite cold, however, with lows down to 7°C. Bring a mix of clothing, with a focus on warm weather items and sun protection, and be sure to toss in a sweatshirt, sweater or jacket too. With just 10mm of precipitation this month, there’s no need to worry about rain. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 10mm.)
Yucatan Weather in April : April is the driest month on the Yucatan Peninsula, with just 27mm of rainfall over three days. The weather is noticeably warming now, with afternoons climbing to 32°C. Expect lots of heat and endless sunshine, which means you’ll need to really lather on the sunscreen and bring a wide-brimmed hat for protection too. Think shorts, tank tops, breezy dresses, sandals and beachwear now. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 27mm.)
Baja Weather in April : April can be a sweet spot, with the biggest crowds beginning to dissipate, the weather still pleasantly warm, and the average high the same as last month at 30°C. Rain is still basically non-existent with just 4mm this month, and, as always, sunshine is plentiful. Because of the dry desert climate, you will still need to pack a sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket for evenings that can dip down to 15°C. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 4mm.)
Pacific Coast in April : April is noticeably warmer, with temperatures often rising to 32°C or even higher this month and lows have now increased two degrees to 16°C. The tourist season is beginning to wind down, though there are likely to still be quite a few visitors this month. Those who are there will enjoy cooling off in the ocean, with temperatures usually just slightly lower than what they are on land, at around 25°C. Bring that sun protection, as you’ll definitely need it, along with the mix of mostly lightweight clothing, swimwear and a sweater or light jacket for evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 5mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in April : April is another very pleasant month, with very little chance for rain and frequently bright, sunny skies. In fact, this month, along with May are actually the warmest of the year in central Mexico. Look forward to afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 20s, and slightly warmer nights, with the low now at 10°C. With just 20mm of precipitation over 11 days this month, if it does rain it probably be very light and pass quickly. Don’t forget your sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat may be a good idea too, for protection against that intense sunshine, and you’ll still need a jacket or warm sweater for chilly evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 25°C. Average Precipitation: 20mm.)
Yucatan Weather in May : May is generally the last month of the dry season, and weather will be hot, with the average high now creeping up to 33°C. There is just 28mm of rainfall on average, and more endless sunshine as well as warm evenings, with even the low temperatures a rather balmy 24°C. With the heat and humidity now getting rather intense, you may want to bring lots of lightweight clothing, some of which includes dry-wicking material to keep from feeling too sticky. (Average Max Temperature: 31°C. Average Precipitation: 28mm.)
Baja Weather in May : The average high temperature in May now climbs two degrees to 32°C, and there is almost no chance for rain, with an average of zero precipitation this month. Expect sunny, hot, dry days and relatively cool nights, with temperatures dropping to 16°C. This is a great time to be in Baja, with few crowds and often discounted rates, and temperatures plenty warm enough for swimming. Be sure to bring your bathing suit and some sun protection, along with that lightweight summery clothing and a sweater or sweatshirt. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 0mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in May : May is a great time to visit the Pacific coast, with the tourist crowds thinning, temperatures rising, but not miserably hot. The daily average is 26°C, though afternoon highs can climb to 33°C or a bit above. The nights are warmer too, with temperatures generally not dipping lower than 18°C. Though the rain increases a bit to 18mm in May, you’re unlikely to see much in the way of precipitation. You’ll still need to pack as you would for the previous months, with mostly warm weather, summery clothing for days and a couple of long-sleeve shirts or a light sweater for after dark. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 0mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in May : May is more like summer than the official summer months, bringing warm temperatures with highs in the mid to upper 20s, making it an ideal time to visit. The chance of rain increases slightly, with 30mm falling over 16 days in May, though much of it is likely to come during the latter part of the month and you’ll still see an abundance of sunshine. With the low temperature at 11°C, you will need something to keep you warm at night, along with lightweight, summery clothing for daytime. (Average Max Temperature: 25°C. Average Precipitation: 30mm.)
Yucatan Weather in June : The rain makes its comeback in June, which marks the start of the hurricane season. Precipitation increases 81mm to 109mm, which falls over eight days. That means you’re likely to still enjoy an abundance of sunshine, but there is a greater chance for rain too. A hurricane this month is rare, so it may be a good time to visit while enjoying mostly pleasant weather and discounts too. When the rain comes, it’s usually in short bursts. Humidity can be really intense though, as high as 96% and sometimes even 100%, so be prepared to feel hot and sticky, no matter what you wear or don’t wear. A wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen is an absolute must for avoiding a sunburn. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 109mm.)
Baja Weather in June : There is little difference between May and June in Baja. Though it may get slightly warmer, the average high temperature remains 32°C and there is little chance for rain. The average low does creep up a couple of degrees now, to 18°C, making evenings quite comfortable. Still, just as you would in May, plan to bring plenty of sunscreen, lightweight clothing, a bathing suit and a sweater for those cooler evenings. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 0mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in June : June marks the beginning of the rainy season, as well as the low season, which means few tourists and the chance to find some good bargains on hotels and airfare too. It will be warm, with afternoon highs climbing to 33°C, sometimes reaching a few degrees higher. With 227mm of precipitation this month, the odds of encountering rainfall are high, though you can expect plenty of sun breaks in between showers as well. With the low temperature now 21°C, nights are fairly warm, so you may want to skip tossing in that sweater or jacket, and instead focus on sun protection, lightweight summer clothing and perhaps something for the rain – or, just plan to enjoy an afternoon snooze when it hits. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 227mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in June : Unlike many areas of Mexico, the high temperature actually dips a degree in June, to 24°C. This is also the start of both the busy season and the rainy season, though rainfall is typically confined to an hour or so in late afternoon. This month averages 61mm of precipitation over 18 days, so you can expect plenty of sunshine too. Nights will be a bit warmer than last month, though not by much with lows at 12°C, so you’ll still need to bring a jacket or warm sweater for outdoor activities after dark, and you may want to toss in a portable umbrella too. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 61mm.)
Yucatan Weather in July : While July also falls within hurricane season, hurricanes aren’t near as likely to hit until September or October, so it’s still a relatively safe month to visit, and you’re likely to find bargains galore, but it will be sizzling hot. The average high temperature is the same as June, at 33°C, but it generally doesn’t get cooler than 25°C at night, which means booking an air-conditioned room this time of year is really a must. You may have some rain to contend with, as it slightly increases at 115mm over five days, but again, it’s typically in short bursts with plenty of sunshine to enjoy swimming and lounging on the beach. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 115mm.)
Baja Weather in July : July is the second hottest month of the year in Baja, with the average high temperature reaching 34°C, and it’s not unheard of for it to climb over 40°C, and the humidity makes those numbers feel even hotter. Still, if you want to spend lots of time in the water, this is one of the cheapest times to visit and crowds will be few. Just plan on bringing loads of sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat, as well as that lightweight summer clothing. It doesn’t usually get cooler than 24°C, even in the middle of the night now, so you won’t need a sweater or jacket, but you will want to book an air-conditioned room. (Average Max Temperature: 34°C. Average Precipitation: 12mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in July : Temperatures in July are similar to June, but the big difference is the rain. The rain increases even more to 362mm on average, though the city empties out, with tourists avoiding the wet weather, making it a good time to come for bargains as well as to enjoy cultural attractions without the crowds. The average high remains 33°C and the low at 21°C, so plan to pack as you would for June, there’s no need for cool weather clothing now, though you might want to toss in a portable umbrella. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 362mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in July : July is the peak of both the busy season and the rainy season, but mornings are nearly always pleasant and sunny, or at worst, partly cloudy. Typically, on any given day this month, you’ll see rain in the late afternoon, making it easy to plan outdoor activities around it. The average high temperature remains a rather pleasant 24°C. Pack as you would for June, and be sure to book accommodations well ahead of time due to the high amount of visitors that are likely to be here now. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 70mm.)
Yucatan Weather in August : August is the hottest month of the year in the Yucatan, with average highs now at 34°C. There are big discounts now, and even though it’s closer to peak hurricane season, there have only been two major hurricanes to hit this region in nearly 30 years – the most recent was in October of 2005 and the other was in September of 1988. This is the time when you’ll want to spend lots of time in the water when the sun is hot, as those high temperatures combined with high humidity makes it feel even hotter. Heavy rain is likely to come to help provide some relief, with an average of 181mm over six days in August. Bring your lightweight clothing, some with dry-wicking material, beachwear and sun protection. (Average Max Temperature: 34°C. Average Precipitation: 181mm.)
Baja Weather in August : The hottest month of the year in Baja, highs average 35°C in August, and it can sometimes reach as high as 44°C, while lows remain a fairly warm: 24°C. The hurricane season arrives in mid-August, though odds are still fairly low, the first known landfall of a tropical cyclone in this region was on August 15th. If you want to avoid the risk and don’t mind the searing heat, plan to come during the first half of the month. Rain is more likely from mid-month on as well, with an average of 52mm of precipitation, though typically coming in short bursts. (Average Max Temperature: 35°C. Average Precipitation: 52mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in August : It’s the heart of the rainy season now, with a whopping 380mm of rainfall on average this month. It will still be hot, however, with temperatures remaining just as they were in June and July, highs reaching 33°C or slightly higher, and evenings mild with lows at 21°C. Days are typically characterized by tropical downpours that come in between intense sunshine. This is also a great time to visit for avoiding crowds and enjoying discounted airfare and hotel rates. If you don’t want to get caught in the rain, be sure to bring a portable umbrella. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 380mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in August : There is very little change in the weather from July, with afternoon highs hovering around 24°C and nights dropping down to 12°C. Some days the temperature may climb into the upper 20s, but once the clouds and rain come it cools off instantly. The rain does decrease a bit with 50mm of precipitation over 19 days, most, again, falling in late afternoons with more during the first half of the month. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 50mm.)
Yucatan Weather in September : Things are gradually beginning to cool, though only slightly, with high temperatures still averaging 33°C and the humidity remains high. If you plan to visit this month, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on the weather forecast, as it is now peak hurricane season, and it’s also the wettest month in the region, with some 279mm of precipitation over 10 days. As it so often does, the rain usually falls in short, intense bursts, providing some cool relief before the sun returns. The best news of all? Accommodation rates are typically at the lowest, and crowds are few. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 270mm.)
Baja Weather in September : Visiting in September will put you smack dab in the middle of the storm season. It was September of 2014 when Hurricane Odile hit Los Cabo, and tropical storms have become increasingly common this time of year. If you go, expect to find big discounts and few tourists, along with sizzling heat as the average high temperature drops just a degree to 34°C, and temperatures of 44°C have been recorded this month as well. Precipitation increases significantly to 116mm, and a rain jacket is likely to feel much too warm with those high temps, so bring an umbrella, plan to get wet or be prepared to spend some time inside, though you should still see quite a bit of sunshine in between showers. (Average Max Temperature: 34°C. Average Precipitation: 116mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in September : September is one of the hottest and wettest months on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, but the good news is that unlike some other areas of the country, hurricanes are rare. To compare, Cancun sees one about every seven years, whereas Puerto Vallarta along the Pacific coast is closer to once every 35 years. The afternoon high does dip slightly this month to 32°C, though the low actually increases to 22°C and precipitation is still very heavy at 358mm on average. If you go during this time, you won’t have to worry about bumping elbows with tourists, and you can expect to find some good discounts too. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 358mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in September : If you plan to visit Mexico’s interior in September, prepare for some rain and cool evenings. Like last month, rainfall mostly comes in the afternoon, so you can usually avoid it by planning outdoor activities in the morning. As September 15 and 16th bring Independence Day celebrations, be sure to book early if you plan to visit then, and be aware that many shops and restaurants will be closed. Pack as you would for the summer rainy season, bringing a portable umbrella and a mix of clothing for both warm days and cool nights. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 60mm.)
Yucatan Weather in October : October brings more noticeably cooler temperatures, with the average high now a bit more comfortable at 31°C. As mentioned, this is peak hurricane season, however, and it’s also the second wettest month, with an average of 177mm of precipitation that falls over 11 days. The latter half of the month generally experiences less rain, but throughout October, and really year-round, you can still expect lots of sunshine. If you plan to do a lot of swimming, be aware that during the monsoon season, beaches may close when the surf is too dangerous. The tradeoff is cheaper hotel rates, and a generally low number of tourists. (Average Max Temperature: 31°C. Average Precipitation: 177mm.)
Baja Weather in October : Mid-October marks the end of the hurricane season, and the second half of the month can be an ideal time to visit Baja, with few crowds and often discounts too. The average high temperature drops another degree to 33°C, and the later in the month you arrive, the more pleasant it’s likely to be. While there is a chance for rain, it’s fairly minimal now, with just 30mm on average, and plenty of sunshine for enjoying those outdoor activities, including ocean swimming. Sea temperatures are still quite warm at 27°C. (Average Max Temperature: 33°C. Average Precipitation: 30mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in October : October brings a slight change to the Pacific coast, with temperatures beginning to fall, even if it’s ever so slightly with the mercury creeping to 32°C during the hottest part of the day. Rainfall is diminishing, with the rainy season coming to an end, although there is still quite a bit this month with an average of 131mm. Most will come during the first half of October, so if you hope to avoid the crowds, visit from mid-month on, when temperatures are pleasant, sunshine is abundant, and there are still relatively few tourists too. Even after dark it’s quite mild with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C. Pack your summer clothes, including lots of lightweight clothing and sunscreen, you’re unlikely to need a jacket or sweater unless you plan on taking a sunset cruise as it can get a little chilly out on the water. (Average Max Temperature: 32°C. Average Precipitation: 131mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in October : October sees the end of the rainy season, with precipitation dropping significantly to an average of just 20mm this month. Temperatures are pleasantly warm, with afternoon highs still around the mid-20s. There are fewer visitors here now as well, so you might find some discounted hotel rates and attractions are likely to be less busy too. The nights are getting quite cold, dropping down to at 10°C, so be sure and pack a warm jacket or sweater for those cold evenings outdoors. (Average Max Temperature: 24°C. Average Precipitation: 20mm.)
Yucatan Weather in November : November officially marks the end of the hurricane season, and the amount of rain is beginning to decrease with an average of 104mm of precipitation. The high temperature averages a relatively pleasant 30°C, and the sea will still be warm enough to swim – in fact, during this month it may even feel warmer than it does on land. As this is somewhat of a shoulder season, transition from the low to high season, you can still expect rates to be lower than what they will be at their peak, and big crowds are unlikely. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 104mm.)
Baja Weather in November : November is the transition into the busier season, slightly cooler temperatures, and the sea begins to lose its warmth. Still much of this month can be a fabulous time for a Baja visit, with little chance of rain, abundant sunshine and not as many tourists to bump elbows with as there will be next month. The average high is now a pleasant 30°C and nights have gotten much cooler, at 17°C. This is still a time for plenty of sunscreen and summery clothing, but now you may need that light jacket or sweater for evenings outside. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 11mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in November : November marks the beginning of the dry season, though earlier in the month heat and humidity may still be quite high. There’s likely to be little, if any rain, especially if you come from mid-November on, with just 24mm of precipitation on average this month. You may still find some good deals, but as November progresses, the crowds begin to thicken and you’ll start to see more action at the beach and attractions are busier too. The average high temperature is still fairly warm at 31°C, just a degree lower than last month, and evenings are mild too, with lows at 18°C. As the sun will be out in force much of the time, bring plenty of sunscreen and summery clothing, including swimwear, with ocean temperatures hovering around 28°C. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 24mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in November : November marks the start of the low season, cooler weather, and little rain. Mornings and evenings will feel crisp and cool, with low temperatures falling to just 7°C, though afternoons are likely to feel especially pleasant with highs averaging 22°C and sunshine abundant. Rain is fairly rare, with an average of less than 20mm falling over just five days this month. Plan to bring a few items for warmer weather like short-sleeve shirts, focusing more on clothing like long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts and sweaters. While you won’t need an umbrella, you will need sunglasses. Average Max Temperature: 22°C. Average Precipitation: 19mm.)
Yucatan Weather in December : By mid-December, the busy season will be in full swing, though the first half of month can still be a good time to visit the Yucatan for avoiding sizzling heat and the biggest crowds. There will be plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures, as well as warm water for swimming. The average high temperature is at its lowest of the year at 28°C, and precipitation averages 87mm. Just be aware that as the holidays get closer, the prices increase along with the tourist crowds. (Average Max Temperature: 31°C. Average Precipitation: 60mm.)
Baja Weather in December : The increase in tourists is noticeable now, as is the dip in temperature, with highs dropping to 27°C and lows a chilly 14°C, though some afternoons may get quite warm, occasionally hitting the mid-30s. It may still be possible to enjoy a dip in the ocean, with sea temperatures at 25°C, so be sure to bring your bathing suit. Pack as you would for last month, making sure to plan for the cooler weather after dark. (Average Max Temperature: 27°C. Average Precipitation: 15mm.)
Pacific Coast Weather in December : Although December ushers winter in, it won’t feel like it along Mexico’s Pacific Coast. The weather is still quite warm this month, with afternoon highs around 30°C, and sometimes a bit higher. Nights are now cool enough, with lows dipping to 15°C that you’ll definitely want to bring a sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket for evenings. During the day, expect lots of sunshine and virtually no rain, which makes December a very popular time to visit, particularly around the holidays. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 21mm.)
Mexico City and Interior Mexico Weather in December: December is the coldest month of the year in this region, but it’s likely to feel quite mild to those who are used to northern climates. Afternoon highs average 20°C, but there are usually few days that climb closer to 25°C, as well as days where it doesn’t get warmer than 10°C. Nights and mornings, again, will be cold, and there is a strong possibly of frost with lows down to just 5°C. While earlier in the month can bring discounted hotel rates, as it progresses closer to the holidays, expect bigger crowds and a spike in prices too. (Average Max Temperature: 30°C. Average Precipitation: 21mm.)

As diverse as it is enchanting, Mexico is a year-round destination. This 32-state nation boasts glistening coastlines, numerous microclimates and an astonishingly varied terrain.

For 365 days a year, the sun reigns supreme on the pristine beaches of Cancún and Playa del Carmen on the Yucatán Peninsula, while inland city gems like Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende , located in the temperate highlands, provide respite from scorching summers.

Over in the state of Chihuahua , adventurers relish the grandiose and gobsmacking Copper Canyon in spring and fall, and the country’s cultural heartland, Mexico City , is perennially bustling with life.

Whether you're a beach lover, culture maven, history buff or foodie, Mexico has a perfect time for you to experience its countless treasures. In this guide, we'll dissect the seasons, local festivals and regional nuances to help you pinpoint the best time to go to Mexico, ensuring your trip is as unforgettable as the country itself.

December to April is the best time for dry weather and party crowds

High season in Mexico coincides with the dry season from November to March (the rainy season is from June to October). These pleasantly dry months bring numerous winter escapees from colder countries, and it is the best time to travel to Mexico if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors and in nature.

On the Baja Peninsula , flowers bloom, things get green, big waves delight surfers, and swimming with whale sharks is possible (from October through April). In the Northern Central Highlands , it's a fantastic time for excursions to waterfalls and rivers, while in Oaxaca , these are the best months for hiking.

Bring a sweater for high-altitude destinations like San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas , which can be chilly at night and in the morning. In the Western Central Highlands , the forests of the Reserva de la Biosfera Santuario Mariposa Monarca (Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve) turn orange as millions of large monarch butterflies winter there from late October to mid-March.

November, December and January are the most expensive months to fly to Mexico. Expect crowded attractions and population swells in destinations like Tulum , which is particularly busy before New Year’s Eve and on the first week of the year when massive electronic music festivals fill the calendar.

February is the best month for whale-watching around the Baja Peninsula, and March is the Vernal Equinox when visitors mob Chichén Itzá (it happens in autumn as well) to see shadows that resemble a serpent ascend or descend the El Castillo pyramid . Archaeological sites like Teotihuacán north of Mexico City and Guachimontones west of Guadalajara are also popular spring equinox pilgrimages.

In March and April, many US students spend their spring break in coastal hotspots, including Cancún, Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas , for days of over-the-top partying. Whether you wish to join or avoid the revelry, take note of potential fare increases during this time.

Semana Santa (Easter Week), which can be in March or April, is Mexico’s major holiday week of the year, with tourist accommodations and transportation packed – many businesses also shut down in inland cities. Along with Christmas, Easter fares in Mexico can be as much as double the typical rate.

May to June is the best time for sunseekers, fewer crowds and low prices

Mexico experiences two low seasons: May and June, and then September through November. If you’re looking to score great travel deals, these might be the cheapest months to vacation in Mexico.

In May, temperatures reach annual peaks in cities such as Mérida (average daily high 95°F), Guadalajara (87°C), Oaxaca City (86°C) and Mexico City (79°C). You might be surprised to learn that Cinco de Mayo is not observed with zealous fanfare throughout Mexico, though it is a public holiday. The main destination for celebration on May 5 th is Puebla , where a battle between the Mexican army and French soldiers is re-enacted.

June is the start of the rainy season in Mexico, as well as the hurricane season, which lasts until November. The highest chance of encountering a hurricane, however, is between August and October.

July and August are the best months for surfing and wildlife encounters

It’s hot nearly everywhere in Mexico during the summer. Countless spots in the Mexican Riviera (Mexico’s Pacific coast region), including Puerto Escondido with its legendary Mexican Pipeline, enjoy superb swells from April/May to October/November. June to August generally sees the biggest waves.

If you love turtles, the best time to travel to Puerto Vallarta is from July until December, when you can attend one of many baby turtle releases held by a handful of hotels. For whale shark spotting, these gentle giants gather off the coast of Cancún and Riviera Maya towns between mid-May and mid-September, but the best time to see them is July or August.

The summer might not be the best time to visit Riviera Maya or Cancún, though – not only is it oppressively hot, but many beaches are covered in sargassum (brown seaweed). Vacationing Mexicans from the rest of the country also flock to these beaches, which makes hotel rates rise. Beaches on the Mexican Riviera are never affected by sargassum.

September to November is excellent for cultural showcases and inland city escapades

The second low season, from September to November, is a terrific time for inland explorations and tastes of culture. Mexican families feast on Chiles en Nogada (chilies in walnut sauce) to celebrate Día de la Independencia (Independence Day), which ushers in lively patriotic celebrations on the 15 th and 16 th of September.

Over 10 days in September, Guadalajara hosts the charming, colorful and delectable International Mariachi and Charrería Festival, when more than 500 mariachis perform and the National Charro Championship takes place ( charrería is Mexico’s national sport).

With the hurricane season in full swing on the Yucatán Peninsula and Mexico’s coasts, it’s rainy in most places, with poor visibility for Caribbean divers in September. However, inland Mexico tells a different story.

There are spots of rain in Mexico City , but the mild weather is perfect for wandering around the city. October, along with November and March, is one of the best months to visit northwest Mexico’s spectacular canyon country, with temperatures not too hot at the bottom of the canyons, nor too cold at the top.

At the start of November, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) brings parades, floats, altars and all-night vigils to cities and towns all over Mexico. As the jubilant epicenter of this celebration, this is one of the best times to visit Oaxaca City .

The Best Time to Visit Mexico

Christian Córdova / Flickr

The best time to visit Mexico is in September, as temperatures cool and the rainy season is subsiding, leaving lush greenery in its wake. September also has fewer crowds, as kids go back to school, and lower prices.

Of course, there really is no bad time to visit Mexico, but certain times of the year may appeal to different people more than others, and some destinations and activities may be better at certain times of the year. When planning your trip to Mexico, you'll want to have an idea of the weather, any festivals, and events taking place at the time of your visit, and whether it is the high or low season.

Weather in Mexico

Although many people associate Mexico with hot weather, it's a big country with a wide range of climatic zones and conditions. The weather at sea level tends to be warm to hot throughout the year, making for year-round beach weather (how convenient!) whereas at higher elevations in cities like Mexico City, Toluca, or San Cristobal de las Casas, the weather can get chilly to downright cold in the winter months, especially from November through January. Rainy season in central and southern Mexico falls during the summer months, but some areas, particularly in the north along the border with the United States and along the Baja California Peninsula, can go years without rain.

Mexico's beach resorts tend to be most pleasant between October and May (June to September can be very hot and humid). You should also keep in mind that hurricane season lasts from June to November.

Key Festivals and Events

If you'd like to experience one of the many fiestas that take place in Mexico, you should definitely time your trip to coincide with one. Some people dream of participating one of Mexico's unique cultural celebrations like Day of the Dead at the end of October and beginning of November, when cemeteries are filled with people honoring and remembering their deceased loved ones, or the Radish festival in Oaxaca on December 23, when artisans carve and assemble radishes to form elaborate figures and scenes. Or your bucket list may include witnessing natural events like the annual Monarch butterfly migration when you can be surrounded by thousands of fluttering butterflies (November through March), or holding a tiny baby sea turtle to release it into the ocean as part of one of the sea turtle conservancy programs (usually May to November). If you’d like your Mexican vacation to include one of these experiences, you'll want to plan the timing of your trip accordingly.

Peak Season in Mexico

During school holidays at Christmas, Easter, and during the summer months, Mexican families like to travel and you may find buses and hotels are crowded, so keep that in mind when planning your trip to Mexico. Consider Mexico's national holidays so you can keep track of what celebrations are going on and when. Beach destinations may be very crowded during spring break . For fewer crowds and good deals, you should travel at other times or to other destinations.

January is part of Mexico's high-season, as those from colder climates flock to the country's beaches. Weather along the coastal areas is pleasant, but at the higher elevations, it can still be chilly.

Events to check out:

Three Kings Day, held each year on January 6, represents the day the Three Wise Men gave gifts to Jesus Christ. This day closes out the Christmas season in Mexico.

Like January, February is also a popular time to visit Mexico. It's the country's dryest month and temperatures begin to rise.

Día de la Candelaria commemorates Mary's visit to the Temple in Jerusalem after the birth of Christ and is held in early February each year.
Millions of Monarch butterflies ride out the winter in Mexico each year. The butterfly population is at its peak in February.

Spring break typically falls in March, bringing large crowds to the country's coastal areas. While the weather can be nice, if your ideal Mexican vacation involves a secluded beach, don't visit in March.

Spring Equinox is an interesting time at Mexico's Chichen Itza ruins, as the interplay of light and shadow makes it appear as if the serpent Kukulcan "descends" the stairs of El Castillo.

April is not only hot and dry—it's also crowded. During this month, many Mexicans take their vacations during the Holy Week, flocking to beach resorts and coastal areas. Book your hotels and other reservations well in advance if you're planning a trip during April.

Easter in Mexico is a two-week holiday which consists of the Holy Week (Semana Santa) and Pascua (which starts with Easter Sunday and ending the following Saturday). This week is among the most important holidays in Mexico's culture.

May is quite warm in Mexico and it also marks the beginning of the country's rainy season, so bring your umbrella. It's also quite a festive month, with many celebrations throughout the country.

Cinco de Mayo isn't celebrated as fervently in Mexico as it is the U.S., but many cities and villages will still host small celebrations.
Mexico's Labor Day is a national holiday, held on May 1.

The weather in June is warm, often with high humidity. If you're coming to Mexico with hopes of releasing sea turtles, the season kicks off in June and runs through October.

Feria de San Pedro, or "St. Peter's Fair," takes place in Tlaquepaque near Guadalajara.
Día de Locos, or "the Day of the Crazies," is held in San Miguel de Allende.

July is usually the wettest month in Mexico, but that shouldn't keep you from visiting: Much of the time, rain usually begins late in the afternoon or evening. Summer vacation has begun so while many tourist areas will be busy, they won't be as crowded as they are during spring break or peak winter months.

The Guelaguetza festival is held in Oaxaca for the last half of the month and is a great opportunity to enjoy Mexican culture and folk dances.

Northern Mexico is hot during August, while the rest of the country is warm and rainy. Hurricane season officially began in June, but many times, hurricanes hit between August and October. Depending on where in Mexico you're visiting, this is worth considering.

At the Huamantla Fair, in Tlaxcala, the city streets are decorated with flower petals and sawdust.
The Fiestas de la Vendimia, a wine festival held in Ensenada, Baja California, also takes place in August.

September is the beginning of the fall season, a great time to visit Mexico. While the threat of a hurricane is still a possibility, temperatures are cooler and the rainy season is beginning to subside, leaving the country lush and green.

Mexican Independence Day takes place September 16, but celebrations are held throughout the month.

October is the end of Mexico's rainy season, but the threat of hurricanes still looms. Weather is cooler though, making this generally a nice time to visit, with few crowds.

The Festival Cervantino, held in Guanajuato every October, is one of the country's most celebrated cultural festivals.
The Morelia International Film Festival takes place in Baja California in October.

With cooler temperatures and hurricane season nearly over, November is a great time to explore Mexico's beaches. Temperatures can get much cooler inland (but never bitterly cold).

Day of the Dead is celebrated throughout the country, as colorful altars are built to remember the family's deceased loved ones.
Puerto Vallarta's annual gourmet festival draws more than 30 chefs from around the world.

December is a popular month, as Christmas and the surrounding celebrations are a big deal in Mexico. Outside of the holiday celebrations, many beach destinations and colonial cities are crowded during December.

Our Lady of Guadalupe falls on December 12.
Posadas (caroling processions) begin on December 16 and run through December 24.

When is the Best Time to Visit Mexico?

TravelRaval » Blog » When is the Best Time to Visit Mexico?

T he best time to visit Mexico is between December and April, when there is little to no rain. Although average temperatures can still reach 28°C during the dry season, the frosty months are between December and February.

The southern hemisphere’s wet season begins in May and lasts until October. A heavy rain during this time usually clears the extra humidity before it builds up again. The hurricane season, which lasts from June to November , has the potential to have an impact on the Caribbean coastline.

In view of this, Mexico conjures up a variety of distinct, colorful fantasies, including palm-lined beaches, spicy cuisine, ancient temples, bustling metropolis, gala fireworks, and Frida Kahlo’s artistry.

And the truth matches them. Mexico’s dense tropical jungles , snow capped peaks, cactus-strewn deserts, and 10,000 kilometers of coastline dotted with sandy beaches and wildlife-rich lagoons provide an infinite sensory adventure.

But when to enjoy all the fruits Mexico has to offer is a great question, and the answer is entirely up to you. To help you plan the ideal trip to Mexico, however, we’ve included a schedule of what’s occurring when.

Here’s the monthly breakdown of the what’s happening when at the gorgeous Baja Peninsula –

January Attracts Flocks of Foreign Tourist

It’s warm along the shore and in the lowlands, cool in the mountains, and dry everywhere, attracting hordes of foreign tourists. The Mexican holiday season begins the first week, when transportation is fully booked and beach resorts are incredibly busy.

Weather – Afternoons average 29°C, and rain is unlikely, with only 23mm falling over two days this month. However, nights will be chilly with lows around 14°C. There will probably be a lot of other people joining you because it’s a terrific time to visit because of the warm winter sun. Pack for bright, sunny days and cool evenings by bringing sun protection, lightweight clothing, and a light jacket or sweater.

Attractions – January in Mexico is a wonderful month for wildlife aficionados. You’re midway through the short whale watching season off Baja California , migratory bird species are in abundance, and the forests of central Mexico are thick with Monarch butterflies wintering down south. The weather is gorgeous, dry and sunny, but in mountainous regions there is snow, which makes for an interesting contrast.

Key festivals & events – Da de los Santos Reyes (also known as Three Kings Day) is a holiday celebrated by many families on January 6. It is customary for kids to get gifts on this day rather than Christmas. However, it is a national holiday, and businesses will close around the 6th.

New Year’s Day, known as Ano Nuevo in Mexico , is a national holiday, and most businesses are closed. But, restaurants are running until wee hours.

February Attracts Whale Watchers in Masses

Temperatures are slightly warmer than in January, but it continues to be dry, making February one of the best months to visit Mexico , but it can still be freezing in the north and at high altitudes. February and March are the ideal times to see whales in Baja .

Weather – There is no discernible difference in Mexico’s weather between January and February. The temperature merely rises by one degree to 29°C, while precipitation is just 3mm more on average, at 46mm. There will be lots of sunshine and warm water for swimming, making this month a popular time for tourists to visit. Pack like you would for January, plus one or two items for chilly evenings.

Attractions – February in Mexico is mid-winter over much of the nation, but you’ll still have pleasant weather, making this the perfect time to visit beaches before the spring break masses arrive.

The Baja California coastline is dotted with boats as this is the peak season for whale watching. If you’re lounging on a sun lounger with a cocktail in your hand, you’ll observe brisk sea kayakers paddling off the coast of Baja California.

February is ideal for cultural vacations inland, such as visiting ancient monuments like Chichen Itza before the planet warms.

Key festivals & events – Día De La Candelaria is observed across the country the first week of February. It includes music and dancing, processions, feasts, and other celebrations. The festivals end with the blessing of seeds and candles in a ceremony fusing pre-Hispanic and European customs to signify the end of winter.

From February 1st to February 5th , the Riviera Nayarit bohemian surf town of Sayulita hosts a film festival with beachside and private screenings, live music, a lecture series, master tastings, and tequila and food pairings.

March is Getting Warmer But the Tourism Still Continues

The weather is gradually warming across Mexico, but it remains dry, and the winter season for international tourists continues. Students in the US and Canada have a week off in March and April, and many flock to Mexican resorts like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, or Cabo San Lucas for weeks of crazy partying.

Weather – With March finally here, temperatures are a little bit rising. The average temperature has risen two degrees to 25°C, with afternoon highs of 30°C possible.

Due to the fact that there was only 40mm of precipitation over four days, this month is significantly drier than February.

This is the best time to visit Mexico , particularly in destinations like Cancun where a lot of college students come for spring break to party. With the low temperature at 22°C, you won’t need any cool weather clothes, but if you plan on going sailing, a sweatshirt would be a good option.

Attractions – March is a busy month in Riviera Maya beach resorts , with cruise passengers joining swarms of drunken spring breakers to enjoy the warm weather. Instead, go inland to see Mayan ruins or the Piedra Herrada refuge, where you can see woodlands that are soaked in orange as Monarch butterflies mate before they make their way back to the North side of the continent.

The whale-watching season ends in late March in Mexico.

Key festivals & events – The Night of the Witches is an annual celebration held in Catemaco, Veracruz, on the first Friday in March. The event includes mystics, therapists, and tarot card readers. You may get your palms read as well learn more about alternative therapeutic techniques.

Visitors swarm Chichén Itzá on the Vernal Equinox in March to observe shadows that resemble serpents ascending or descending the El Castillo pyramid. Every equinox has a week before and after it that has almost the same effect.

April Stays Dry, Crowds on the Peak

The Yucatán Peninsula’s hot and sunny season is the best time of year to visit Mexico for some relaxation. It’s also getting quite warm outside in Mexico City and the other ancient towns and communities.

Weather – The weather remains dry despite the rising temperatures. Since the afternoon highs have risen to 32°C, the climate has been clearly warming.

You should pack plenty of sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat for protection because you can anticipate extreme heat and nonstop sunshine. Now, picture yourself wearing flip flops, crop tops, breezy gowns, and bikinis.

Attractions – Plan ahead if you want to be near the coast in April because it is also the peak of the cruise season in Mexico. This is when enormous ships discharge thousands of day-trippers.

Spring break ends by mid-April, which provides some reprieve. The seaside tours & activities are confined to less-traveled locales like tribal settlements in the highlands.

Key festivals & events – Mexico’s biggest holiday week of the year, Semana Santa (Easter Week), which can fall in March or April, is a busy time for travelers. Many businesses close their doors in inland cities. Numerous locations observe Good Friday with solemn processions. On the other hand, audiences witness a recreation of the Death on the cross at Iztapalapa, Mexico City .

The San Marcos National Fair , which lasts 22 days in mid-April and features bull riding and boxing matches, sombreros, ballet, and jazz, is the biggest fair in the country. Additionally, there are fireworks, marketplaces, and craft fairs.

Festival de San Luis lasts for a week in early April, and comprises performances in all forms of fine art, including theater, comedy, musical, and choreography. Numerous events, symposia, galleries, and summits are also hosted every year.

May Display Low Season of Tourism, Cheap Accommodations

Temperatures reach annual highs in locations such as Mérida, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, and Mexico City. There are lower hotel rates because it is off-peak travel season. The Pacific Coast begins to experience consistent surf.

Weather – May is an excellent month to explore the Pacific coast, as tourist crowds thin and temperatures rise but do not become unbearably hot. Although afternoon highs sometimes reach 33°C or slightly more, the daily average temperature is 26°C . Additionally, the nights are warmer, with temperatures rarely falling below 18°C . Though the rain increases slightly to 18mm in May, you won’t see much of it. Pack summary attire for the days and a light sweater for after dark.

Activities – It’s the best time to visit Mexico City and other places like Tulum, Chichen Itza , and Palenque. May in Mexico is a “shoulder month, which means that the Pacific Coast is much quieter than it was in March and April.

Key festivals & events – Cinco de Mayo and a valiant victory over the French are both celebrated in Puebla On May %, in central Mexico.

The annual Pride Vallarta LGBT celebration, which takes place in Puerto Vallarta for two weeks in the second half of May. It features wild parties, rock concerts, beauty events, a mass commitment ritual, and other activities.

Beginning with the start of the rainy season, the southeast, certain areas along the Pacific coast, and the central highlands will experience intense downpours.

Both the number of visitors and lodging rates are still low.

Numerous locations along the Pacific coast, such as Puerto Escondido and its fabled Mexican Pipeline , benefit from excellent surf. Typically, the largest waves occur between June and August. Beginners have practically the entire year to learn how to surf.

Weather – It’s the rainy season for Mexico . It also heralds the start of hurricane season. The temperature will be warm, with afternoon highs occasionally rising to 33°C.

With 227mm of precipitation this month, the chances of rain are high, however there will be plenty of sunny spells in between. With the low temperature now at 21°C, nights are rather comfortable.

Pack sun protection, lightweight summer apparel, and possibly a raincoat for the rain.

July is Busy with Crowds and Rains. Hotel Prices Soar

July is a month of summer vacation for both foreigners and Mexicans. It is wet in the southeast, the central highlands, and along the Pacific coast. As a result, many tourist spots are busy and have higher pricing.

Weather – July in Mexico is busiest and rainiest, yet despite this, the mornings are almost always nice and sunny, or at the very least, partially cloudy.

You can easily schedule outdoor activities around rain, which is a common occurrence this month in the late afternoon.

The high temperature is still a comfortable 24°C on average. Because there are likely to be many visitors right now, pack as you would for June, and make sure you reserve lodging far in advance.

Activities – The Mayan Riviera is a beautiful place to swim in the heat, with many Mexicans also on vacation.

Showers are most common in the afternoons and are rarely heavy enough to impede trips.

Key festivals & events – Guelaguetza Dance Festival takes place in late July and is one of the most well-attended events in Mexico. It attracts tourists from all over the world who come to see the locals from the seven nearby regions. Localswho assemble in the amphitheater of Oaxaca while dressed in traditional attire and frequently vibrant masks.

This country’s largest film festival, which celebrates and promotes film in Mexico and beyond Latin America, is held over a week in late July.

August In Mexico is Brutally Hot, Brutally Wet!

The summer vacation season continues, as do the rains, but they are less heavy in most locations. It’s really hot in the north from June to August.

Weather – The weather is relatively similar to July, with afternoon highs averaging around 24°C and evenings decreasing to 12°C . The temperature may reach the upper 20s on some days, but as soon as clouds and rain appear, it immediately drops.

The rain does lessen slightly, with 50mm falling over 19 days , with the majority falling in late afternoons and more in the early part of the month.

Activities – Regardless of the weather, bargain hunters enjoy reduced airfare costs and discounts on cultural experiences. Adventuresome travelers can choose from a variety of overland itineraries that visit Central American nations like Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica.

Key festivals & events – In the middle of August, the entire nation celebrates with special masses and processions in some cities.

The grape harvest festival, which lasts for two weeks in August, honors all things related to grapes and wine. Wine tastings, winery tours, live performances, and great dining are all included.

September Marks the Peak of the Hurricane Season

Rains in September get heavier over the country, especially on the Pacific Coast, where it is practically monsoon-like.

Weather – The Yucatán Peninsula and the shores of Mexico are experiencing their busiest period of hurricane activity, and is not the best time to visit Mexico.

For Caribbean divers, the weather is generally cloudy and rainy, with poor visibility.

However, the inland climate, particularly in Mexico City, begins to cool off and there isn’t quite as much rain. In the higher elevations, this marks the beginning of a magnificent season. In Baja, the water is gin-clear.

Activities – Typically, September in Mexico means the rains are ending, there are lots of cheap flights. Popular locations like Oaxaca, Mexico City, Tulum, and Palenque are peaceful.

Key festivals & events – Mexico was freed from Spanish rule on September 15 and 16, which is commemorated nationwide. It involves marches, bbq, and nighttime gatherings of the public to ring the freedom bell and repeatedly yell “Viva Mexico!” The celebrations continue into the early hours of the next day with a dance and other events.

During the first half of September, there are two weeks of the Zacatecas National Fair, which includes a variety of regional cuisines as well as well-known cultural and theatrical events.

October is the Low Season for Tourism

Low season for tourism, with the threat of hurricanes, but rainfall subside everywhere except the Yucatán Peninsula .

Weather – The rainy season comes to an end in October, with precipitation averaging just 20mm on average this month. With afternoon highs remaining in the mid-20s, the weather is comfortably warm.

Because there are less visitors visiting now, you may get some discounted accommodation prices, and attractions are likely to be less crowded.

Pack a thick jacket or sweater for those chilly days spent outside as the temperatures at night are expected to dip to around 10°C .

Activities – October is one of the best months to explore northwest Mexico’s Beautiful Canyon country. The temps are neither too hot nor too cold at the canyon’s bottom.

Key festivals & events – International Cervantes Festival lasts roughly three weeks in October, has established itself as one of Latin America’s premier arts extravaganzas. It’s one of Mexico’s most important cultural events. You should reserve lodging well in advance if you intend to travel to this area in October since the colonial town of Cervantino is bustling with artists and tourists from all over the world.

On October 30, the evening before Halloween, locals visit loved ones’ graves to place flowers and candles. On the D-day visit one of the many clubs throwing costume parties while children partake in trick-or-treating.

November In Mexico Favors the Snow Capped Peaks, and Amazing Weather

The largely dry weather and sweltering heat are beginning to abate. The center volcanic belt’s tall peaks are covered in snow.

Weather – Low season, lower temperatures, and less rain begin in November. Although mornings and evenings will seem chilly and crisp with lows only reaching 7°C.

Afternoons will probably feel very comfortable with highs averaging 22°C and lots of sunshine.

The average amount of rain this month fell over just five days, averaging less than 20mm.

Bring a few items for warmer weather, such as short-sleeve shirts, but focus more on apparel, such as long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, and sweaters.

You won’t need an umbrella, but you will need sunglasses.

Activities – When November rolls around in Mexico, it’s time for the Day of the Dead Festival (Da de los Muertos). This is when Mexicans get together to pay their respects to those who have passed away among carnivals and wacky costumes. As peak season draws near, business picks up later in the month.

Key Festivals & Events – The National Tequila Fair, which is held annually in Tequila, Jalisco for two weeks in the second part of November, features bull fights, cockfights, pan flutes, fireworks, and demonstrations of the national cocktail.

On November 20, Mexico celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution with parades, rodeos, and other events.

December in Mexico is as Cool as it Gets

A nearly dry month with the best possible temperature. The start of international winter travel coincides with the Mexican vacation season, when hotels are crowded and rates are high.

Weather – In this area, Mexico in December is severely cold, but for those accustomed to northern temperatures, it probably feels relatively pleasant.

The average high in the afternoon is 20°C , but there are occasionally days when the temperature reaches closer to 25°C as well as days when it doesn’t rise over 10°C .

Again, it will be chilly at night and in the mornings, with lows as low as 5°C and a significant chance of frost.

As the holidays approach, anticipate increased crowds and price increases in addition to early in the month’s ability to find cheaper hotel rates.

Activities – Gray whales are quite aware that December is a great time to be on the Mexican coast as they begin to assemble in big groups later in the month. It signals the beginning of the whale gazing season in Baja, and is a best time to visit Mexico if you love whale watching.

Key festivals & events – The most significant day of Christmas , which is December 24, when families assemble for midnight meals, is still associated with religion in Mexico.

With street fairs, religious processions, dancing, and fireworks, the Feast of Virgin Guadalupe commemorates Mexico’s patroness. The largest celebrations take place in Mexico City, where tens of thousands of pilgrims converge on the Basilica of Guadalupe. The city’s squares hosts dance, singing, and other events. Puerto Vallarta hosts events beginning December 1 and lasting until December 12, with the last days involving round-the-clock processions and a big fireworks show on December 12.

New Year’s Eve festivities are held in Mexico on December 31. Most of them feature celebrations and fireworks at midnight, just like they do everywhere else. Both Santa Clara del Cobre , which is well-known for its lighted procession of Christ, and Tlacolula hold special celebrations, which include commemorative mock battles.

Best places to visit in mexico for 2023-2024.

With year-round warm weather and diverse destinations ranging from metropolitan Mexico City to the sands of Tulum, Mexico boasts vacation spots that appeal to all sorts of visitors. To help you determine which locale is best for you, U.S. News compiled this list of the best places to visit in Mexico by factoring in cultural attractions, food options, beaches, water-based activities and nightlife, along with traveler votes and expert opinions.

(Note: The U.S. Department of State advises against traveling to certain Mexican states due to crime; check the website for updates before booking your trip, and be cautious if you decide to travel.)

Zihuatanejo

Isla mujeres, isla holbox, mexico city, playa del carmen.

Located on Mexico's Pacific coast, Zihuatanejo offers travelers an authentic Mexico experience full of brilliant sunsets and laid-back vibes. In this fishing village, shopaholics can buy local handicrafts (think: ceramics and woodcarvings), and foodies can savor fresh fish tacos and ceviche along the beach. The city's Playa La Ropa serves as the main beach and stands out because of its clean, family-friendly atmosphere. Playa Larga, another excellent beach option, is set slightly outside of town, so it offers a quieter atmosphere and plenty of room to sprawl out. Just off the coast, divers and snorkelers can pick from several dive sites brimming with marine life.

Home to Mexico's most famous waterfront Mayan ruins, Tulum appeals to history buffs and water lovers alike. Positioned along a coastal stretch of the Riviera Maya, about 40 miles south of Playa del Carmen, Tulum offers some of the best hotels in Mexico , ranging from small boutique hotels to wellness retreats to all-inclusive resorts. Regardless of where you stay, you can spend time lounging on some of the world's most beautiful beaches (try traveler-approved Playa Paraíso or Playa Ruinas), exploring ancient ruins (consider booking a daytrip to nearby Chichén Itzá for a larger-scale site) and swimming in secluded cenotes, unique underwater caves located around the Yucatán Peninsula.

This island is probably best known for two things: coral reefs and cruise ships. Travelers love this destination's brilliant blue water and laid-back beaches, plus its abundance of water sports activities. Numerous outfitters and resorts offer kayaks, paddleboards and snorkeling gear. While you could spend every minute in the water or on the beach with a good book, Cozumel is also a quiet place to learn about Mayan culture. Visit the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio archaeological site for a dose of pre-Hispanic history.

Ixtapa's curved coastline is packed with hotels, restaurants and nightlife, giving the Pacific coast city (located just north of Zihuatanejo) a bustling vibe. Playa El Palmar, the main beach, often proves better for sunset strolls and people-watching than swimming or snorkeling due to the strong waves. Still, warm, clear and generally gentle water and coral beds farther offshore make Ixtapa one of the best places for beginner scuba enthusiasts. Anyone interested in the area's history should also explore the Archaeological Museum of the Costa Grande, a small museum that details the various cultures and events that make the region unique.

A great option for a weekend stay or a quick daytrip tour , Isla Mujeres is set off the coast of Cancún and offers beautiful beaches perfect for relaxation and coral reefs ready for exploration. In fact, it's one of the best places to go snorkeling in the world thanks to a unique underwater museum and one of the world's largest coral reefs (home to all sorts of colorful fish). See marine life from another perspective on a glass bottom boat. When you want to catch some rays, Playa Norte is the most popular beach, framed by white sand, turquoise water and swaying palm trees.

Quiet beaches, a relaxed atmosphere and stunning crystal-clear water are some of Isla Holbox's standout attributes. This up-and-coming slice of paradise is perfect for travelers looking to truly get away from it all, thanks to its car-free, off-the-beaten-path location. Isla Holbox is situated off the northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula and only 26 miles long. Expect quaint boutique hotels, stretches of white sand beaches (Playa Punta Cocos and Punta Mosquito are two top spots), opportunities for snorkeling and sailing, and more than 100 species of birds, including vibrantly colored flamingoes.

About 25 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita is a small beach town known for awesome surfing conditions and scenic stretches of sand. If you've never surfed before, sign up for a lesson from a local to learn. Visitors can also go whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding or zip lining, or hop on a relaxing boat tour. After a day of fun in the sun, head into town to check out the local art galleries and grab a bite to eat at one of the tasty restaurants (Sayulita is a burgeoning foodie destination), which feature everything from cheap eats to fine dining.

Anglers recognize Manzanillo as a world-class deep-sea fishing destination for anyone searching for sailfish and marlin, but many types of travelers will enjoy a trip to this Pacific coast destination, located 170 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. The city's two bays mean there is no shortage of beaches for visitors to swim and sunbathe on: Top spots include Playa la Audiencia and Playa Salagua. Water sports like snorkeling and kayaking are also popular activities to enjoy here. If you have time, visit the small town of Barra de Navidad (about 30 miles northwest) for charming hotels, restaurants and stores along the beach.

Dreamy white sand , nightclubs, all-inclusive resorts and inexpensive flights from the U.S. make Cancún a go-to spot for spring breakers and vacationers seeking an easy beach getaway. But this city on the Yucatán Peninsula also sits close to lush jungles and tranquil cenotes, making it an excellent option for nature lovers. Not to mention, travelers will find diverse and cheap street food served from various carts in the downtown area. Visiting in fall or winter will ensure you see this city (one of the most-visited spots in Mexico) in its most tranquil light, but December through April is when the weather is closest to perfect.

Ornate baroque and neoclassical buildings, busy plazas and colorful homes are everywhere you turn in this UNESCO World Heritage-listed city. Guanajuato, situated about 50 miles west of San Miguel de Allende, is known for its subterranean streets and tunnels, which you can explore on a walking tour or at your own leisure. After admiring the city's cobblestone roadways and charming colonial architecture, grab a souvenir or bite to eat at the bustling Mercado Hidalgo. If you enjoy art, arrive in October when the popular Festival Internacional Cervantino takes place.

As the capital of Yucatán, Mérida's rich culture is visible around every turn. White stone mansions line Paseo de Montejo (the city's main street), while vibrant Sunday markets provide a taste of old-world Mexico. Those looking for Mayan ruins are also in luck; many ancient archaeological sites are in close proximity, including the famed Chichén Itzá just 75 miles east. Meanwhile, museum and art enthusiasts praise El Gran Museo del Mundo Maya de Mérida, as well as the city's art galleries and local murals. When it comes to lodging, travelers will have their pick of quaint boutique hotels.

The most populous city in Mexico is steeped in history and culture. Mexico City boasts delectable cuisine, ancient Aztec sites and world-class hotels – all at fairly low costs – but if you feel like splurging, you'll find an array of high-end shops along the tree-lined Avenida Presidente Masaryk in the Polanco neighborhood. Must-see attractions in Mexico City include the Zócalo, the Palace of Fine Arts, Chapultepec Castle and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. And if you want to eat your way through the city, consider signing up for a food tour .

For a vacation packed with authentic character, head to Puebla. This city, which sits about 80 miles southeast of Mexico City, is filled with colonial architecture and numerous churches, but its main draws are its stunning Talavera pottery, its historical forts and museums, and its sweet and spicy cuisine. Visitors must try mole poblano (made with numerous ingredients, including chiles, meat, chocolate, cinnamon and garlic) and chiles en nogada (chiles stuffed with beef and served with a walnut sauce and fruit like peaches, apples and pomegranate seeds). When the sun sets, venture to Callejón de los Sapos to listen to live music.

Playa del Carmen boasts an exciting food scene, with eateries dishing out everything from delectable tacos and tostadas to sushi and expertly cooked seafood, plus an even hipper bar culture. What's more, this destination in the Riviera Maya beckons to vacationers with its soft white sand blanketing its beaches and its stunning shoreline views. Visitors can also bike to a nearby cenote for a refreshing dip or hit the links at one of the numerous surrounding golf courses. All-inclusive resorts , vacation rentals and boutique properties abound in Playa del Carmen, too, giving travelers plenty of options to find the best fit for their preferences and budgets.

This secluded vacation spot is known for its luxurious lodging options (from vacation rentals to high-end hotels like the St. Regis and the Four Seasons), golf courses and charming beaches, such as El Anclote and Playa de Punta Mita. The small resort village of Punta Mita sits on a peninsula in Banderas Bay and most appeals to travelers seeking a relaxing atmosphere. Those interested in scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing and surfing will be able to enjoy those activities here as well. If you're visiting between December and March, book a whale watching tour for a chance to see humpback or orca whales.

Hurricane Beryl live blog: Tulum hit by category 2 storm, now a category 1

Hurricane Beryl roared ashore on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula near the resort town of Tulum as a Category 2 storm early Friday, whipping trees and knocking out power after leaving a trail of destruction that killed at least 11 people across the Caribbean. The storm has now been downgraded to category 1.

Here's the latest.

Key Headlines

Jul 02, 2024, 10:52 PM GMT Hurricane Beryl downgraded to Category 4

Travel influencers detail moments they encounter Hurricane Beryl's path in Grenada while boating

Cole and Emily Crews, known online as The Adventure Crews first set sail out of Kemah two years ago when they bought their boat.

Nearly 9,000 nautical miles later, the Florida couple found themselves in Grenada during Hurricane Beryl's passage.

On Monday, they told ABC13 Eyewitness News they were thankful they were safe after encountering several scary moments as Hurricane Berly began to land.

Hurricane Beryl's unprecedented nature explained

Beryl is the first major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season and broke records as it reached Category 5 strength on Monday before downgrading to a Category 4 on Tuesday.

Beryl became the first Category 4 hurricane on record in the Atlantic for June and the only storm ever to rapidly intensify before Sept. 1.

How did Hurricane Beryl become a Category 5?

The unusually warm waters across the tropics are rocket fuel for hurricanes and can aid in the rapid intensification process.

So when conditions are right, any tropical system could rapidly intensify this season, potentially leading to more hurricanes and even major hurricanes developing this season.

Read more on the unprecedented hurricane strength here .

Hurricane Beryl downgraded to Category 4

Beryl has been downgraded to a Category 4, as expected, with winds of 155mph now.

Beryl will continue to weaken as it moves through the Caribbean, but is still expected to be a major hurricane upon impact with Jamaica in the next 24 hours.

Trail of devastation

As the storm barreled through the Caribbean Sea, rescue crews in the southeast Caribbean fanned out across the region to determine the extent of the damage that Hurricane Beryl inflicted after landing on Carriacou, an island in Grenada, as a Category 4 storm.

Three people were reported killed in Grenada and Carriacou and another in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, officials said. Two other deaths were reported in northern Venezuela, where five people are missing, officials said. Some 25,000 people in that area also were affected by heavy rainfall from Beryl.

One fatality in Grenada occurred after a tree fell on a house, Kerryne James, minister of climate resilience, environment and renewable energy, told The Associated Press.
