Winter (December-April) offers perfect weather nationwide with sunny days and minimal rain, though prices peak during Christmas, New Year, and Easter when domestic tourism also increases.
Early summer (May-June) and fall (October-November) provide excellent value with pleasant temperatures in most regions, fewer crowds at major attractions, and reduced accommodation rates.
Rainy season (July-September) brings afternoon showers but lush green landscapes and significantly lower prices; coastal areas may experience hurricane risk during this period.
Mexico's climate varies dramatically based on geography and altitude. Coastal regions like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta feature tropical weather with warm temperatures year-round and a rainy season from June to October. Central highlands including Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende enjoy spring-like conditions throughout the year with cooler evenings and minimal rainfall. Northern desert regions experience hot days and cool nights with dramatic temperature fluctuations. Southern states like Chiapas and Oaxaca have distinct wet and dry seasons with comfortable temperatures. The Baja peninsula maintains a dry, desert climate with little rainfall, while the Yucatan Peninsula is consistently hot and humid with a pronounced rainy season.
