Most travelers will tell you that the amount of fun they have on their vacations is directly proportional to the weather. While some tourists flock to places in London where clouds, rain and fog are part of the city’s ambience, opting for more tropical locations hang on to the sun to make the most of their holiday experience. Visitors to Cancun are not exempt. Tourists coming to Cancun expect to be able to find fun in the sun any time they choose. Rains and other weather events can really put a damper on vacation plans. Knowing when Mother Nature is most accommodating is key when planning your trip.
The weather in Cancun is quite suitable, about eighty degrees year round. Having a semitropical climate means that there is not much difference between the winter and summer months as far as temperatures. Winter highs in the mid-eighties and evenings stay around sixty-five degrees. The summer temperature rises into the nineties and stays in the mid-seventies in the evenings. Weather wise, the best time to travel to Cancun is between February and April. This is also considered the time of Cancun and the most expensive time to travel to the area. The winter months of October through January are also good times to travel because the climate remains stable and prices tend to be more reasonable at that time of year. The water temperature remains stable at seventy-six degrees year-round, so visitors have no time to enjoy the turquoise waters of the Cancun beach.
There are a few annual weather events to know when planning to visit Cancun. The city has two rainy season from April to June and from October to January. While each rainy day season does not total total washouts, visitors should keep in mind some rain, maybe even a great deal of rain could be expected every day, and sometimes it was sustained for several days. Another thing visitors should be aware of is the arrival of the Atlantic Ocean Hurricane, which runs from June 1 through September, which happens to be the most active month of tropical activity in Cancun. While hurricanes don’t hit Cancun every year or even on a regular schedule, they are unpredictable and can come up pretty quickly, cutting your trip short or possibly even leaving you stranded.
There is no bad time to visit Cancun. Salutators and residents alike can tell you this. But planning ahead and doing some research can make a good time even better.
