Rainy Season (May - October)

The rainy season lasts from May to October. This season is characterized by higher temperatures and significant rainfall, particularly rainfall that usually only lasts a few hours in the afternoon and evenings. Watch out for hurricanes when traveling to the coast in September and October.

While the hottest months are May and June, weather in central and southern Mexico remains hot and humid throughout the wet season. Central Mexico is significantly wet, with rainfall mostly coming in heavy bursts in the afternoon. There are still plenty of sunny days in May and June, making these quiet months a great time to visit popular destinations like Mexico City, Cancun, Tulum, and Chichen Itza. This season is best for surfing, whale sharks in the Caribbean, and fewer tourists.

Events: Día de San Juan/St John’s Day (June 24), Guelaguetza Festival in Oaxaca (last two Mondays in July), Mexican Independence (September 15,16)
