Coastal areas like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and Los Cabos experience tropical to semi-tropical climates with warm temperatures year-round. Expect daytime highs between 27-35°C (80-95°F) in most seasons, with higher humidity along the Caribbean coast than on the Pacific side.
The dry season runs from November through April in most of Mexico, making this the most popular time for tourism. The rainy season, from May to October, brings afternoon showers that typically last an hour or two. Hurricane season affects the Caribbean coast from June through November, with September and October seeing the highest risk.
Mexico City and other highland destinations enjoy more temperate conditions due to elevation. Mexico City averages 15-25°C (59-77°F) throughout the year, with cooler mornings and evenings. If visiting the highlands, bring layers as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.
