The months of December β April see the most number of tourists visiting the country with Christmas and Easter being the busiest periods. Due to its position on the Tropic of Cancer, Mexico experiences two distinct seasons β the rainy season from May to October and the dry season from November through April. Rainy season brings heavy humidity and downpours that are not ideal if you want to relax on the beach. The east coast and Yucatan areas can be vulnerable to cyclones during the latter half of the rainy season β June to November.
For fewer crowds but more manageable weather conditions, arrange your trip during the shoulder season May or November, just before or after the peak season. In the winter, the thermometer can frequently dip below freezing at night in the highlands. Tourists flock to Baja California around February-March for whale sighting and sea kayaking.
Center: Mexico City is a year-round destination though November is a particularly great month to visit Mexico City as are the months from March-May. The capital city and the central regions surrounding it enjoy a more moderate climate all year round. Coast: The best time to visit the coastal resort towns of Mexico are the months from November to April.
The weather is dry, humidity is low, days are warm and nights are cool. However, heavy rainfall is not uncommon between July and September. If you want to deal with lesser crowds, then the months of April-May and September-October are also good bets. The rainy season can bring on chillier nights so warm layers and a good quality raincoat is a must. If you are traveling to cities or regions located high above sea level, such as Mexico City, it is important to be prepared for altitude sickness.
While traveling, we recommend that you take a little time to adjust to the altitude, and do keep yourself hydrated at all times! Magnificent historical sites. Beautiful beaches. Charming colonial architecture. Picturesque cenotes. This enchanting Mexico vacation, which showcases the best of the Yucatan region, has it all.
