The level of precipitation here does not exceed 300 - 600 mm per year. The most humid is the south of the country - here falls 2000 mm or more of precipitation per year.

And here we take a closer look weather in Cancun by months, when is the best time to go and what weather conditions await you upon arrival at the resort. Let's choose together the best time for your vacation in the Caribbean.

Weather in Mexico in February

"The Velvet season" in Mexico has not yet ended, and if you want to combine a beach holiday with the study of the heritage of the Mayan civilization, you can go to the Yucatan - the southern peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea.

There are not only excellent beaches and coral reefs, but also ancient city Tulum, the pearl of world culture. February in the Yucatan moderately hot, but quiet - no hurricanes that sometimes hit these places in the summer.

Not only that - in Cancun - a fashionable resort place, at this time there are still no American students: they massively go here to relax during the spring break. And the fact that the town is not crowded with crazy young people is also a big plus.

The coolest thing in February is in Monterrey, the center of the northeastern province of Nuevo León. It's only +22ºС.

In Mexico City, the average statistic is one degree higher. But in Acapulco in February it's impossible to freeze: +31ºС.

Weather in Mexico in March

Before planning a trip to Mexico in the spring, you should find out when Easter is. These days the country begins tourism boom: mostly American neighbors go.

Prices are skyrocketing and Easter week becomes not a very favorable time for rest.

In March, it is still +31ºС in Acapulco, in Monterrey the air warms up to +27ºС, a little hotter in Cancun, +28ºС.

But in Mexico City it is a little cooler, + 25ºС. Although at night it gets noticeably colder: only + 10ºС.

In April, it gets much warmer in the central regions of the country, located on the hills: up to +27ºС. The heat there is two months, April and May. At the same time, at night in the same places, the thermometer shows only + 11ºС. It also gets hotter in Acapulco, located on the Pacific coast: + 32ºС.

In April, the beaches of Puerto Escondido, Puerto Angel, located south of the city, are full of vacationers.

To the north of Acapulco, in the town of Michoacan, surfers gather - there are excellent waves almost all year round.

Weather in Mexico in May

May in Mexico rainy season starts. However, do not be afraid of high humidity in the north - these areas are considered the driest. But a lot of water is spilled into the southern territories of the country from May to October: up to 400 mm per month.

Interestingly, the "dry" and "wet" seasons in Mexico have virtually no effect on air temperature. It always stays warm enough.

High humidity makes hot days more noticeable, so the tropical cyclone season is best spent in areas called by the Mexicans or on the coast - there the humidity is approximately always the same, and the weather is dictated by the ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

Video about the best seasons in Mexico

For many, it will be very tempting to travel to a country located on another continent, but what is the weather like there and how to choose the most suitable season? Let's look at the tips of experienced tourists on how to travel without any special expenses and very exciting at the same time. How to make friends in a foreign country?

Weather in Mexico in June

The water on the Pacific coast warms up to +27ºС, and in the Caribbean Sea it stays within +29ºС all summer. However, June begins coastal hurricane season– nothing can be done, the country is located in their belt.

If you still have plans to relax on the coast, choose from June to November the side of the Pacific Ocean, and not the Caribbean Sea - there are fewer hurricanes there, and they are weaker.

But at this time you can go deep into Mexico - for example, to the famous national parks with pine forests . Just remember about the "principle of the mountains" - the higher the object is located, the cooler it will be, especially at night. The exception is the Pico de Orizaba park with volcanoes. There, due to natural circumstances, it is quite hot.

Weather in Mexico in July

Summer comes to Acapulco the hottest time. All three summer months the average temperature is +33 ºС. If you add to this the opportunity to swim in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, then the conditions are not terrible at all. The main thing is not to get into a hurricane.

In July water in the caribbean warms up to +30ºС. But there are few tourists in Cancun and other resort towns of Yucatan - strong hurricanes scare away travelers.

But in Mexico City in July it is not at all hot, only + 23ºС. And in Monterrey, the air warms up to + 34ºС, so when booking a hotel, it is important not to forget to ask: are things going well with air conditioners?

Weather in Mexico in August

In August, +35 ºС in Monterrey, which is even warmer than in Acapulco. Perhaps not the best time to travel inland. The coast is nicer, but at this time of the year it blows too strong winds.

But in Mexico City in August +23 ºС, there is something to see there, including even panoramic restaurants scattered throughout the city.

This city, the fifth largest in the world, is able to captivate for a long time, sharing treasures in return. For example, you can choose a culinary tour and go to taste authentic food in city markets. IN big city there is always something to have fun.

Weather in Mexico in September

Autumn in Mexico is a good time for a Russian tourist, since the weather in September almost coincides with that established in central and southern Russia, and it will take much less time to acclimatize.

From +32-33ºС in Acapulco and Monterrey and up to +23ºС in Mexico City, why not the Russian "Indian summer"?

It's time to do sport fishing - in Mexico, this type of leisure is well established.

The usual winter for most Russians is not here. The climate of Cancun is tropical and can be divided into two main periods - the rainy season and the rest of the year.

High season

The tourist season in Cancun usually starts in November-December and lasts until April. The dry season is characterized by hot weather, low rainfall, lack of wind and, as a result, less rough seas. The water temperature in the Caribbean Sea during these months is slightly lower than during the rainy season, but in general it is comfortable for vacationers - about 25-27 degrees.

Airfare prices at this time of the year are noticeably higher than in the low season. If you are planning a trip during the high season, especially during the New Year and Christmas, we advise you to book hotels and buy tickets in advance.

Early booking and last minute tours

It is also better to buy tours to Cancun in advance. Early booking will save up to 30% of the cost of the tour.

Rain season

The rainy season in Cancun lasts from May to November. At this time of the year, you can often observe prolonged tropical downpours, strong winds and high humidity, which, together with high temperatures, creates not the most favorable conditions for beach holidays and excursions. Nevertheless, the tourist infrastructure at the resort works even in the low season, hotels still accept guests, and guides take tourists on excursions.

The only drawback of relaxing in Cancun during the rainy season is that you have to adapt to the weather. It will no longer be possible to sunbathe in the sun at any time of the day, but under scattered rays the risk of getting a sunburn is much lower. The advantages of relaxing in Cancun during the low season include reduced prices for hotels, air tickets, rental houses and villas, entertainment, as well as a more relaxed atmosphere on the beaches.

When is the best time to go to Cancun?

The best months to visit Cancun are traditionally November, December, January, February, March and April. Russian tourists visit the resort throughout the year, but of course they give preference to the dry season.

When planning a trip to Cancun, you should also consider that the climate on the planet in Lately began to change and the weather periodically pleases with “surprises”, so the beginning and end of the seasons can easily shift by a month, and a tropical downpour can happen even when you don’t expect it at all. Read latest reviews tourists about the weather at the bottom of the article.

Tropical showers in Cancun during the rainy season are frequent, but usually do not last long, so even in the rainy season you can also sunbathe here.

The air temperature during the day fluctuates around 25-31 degrees Celsius.

It can be cool at night in Cancun - from +24 to +30 degrees Celsius, so it will not be superfluous to take some things with you on vacation, such as a windbreaker, a light jacket, etc.

The average water temperature in Cancun varies between 24 and 30 degrees for months, which creates favorable conditions for swimming all year round.
