Cancun lies on the east coast of Mexico. It is a hugely popular vacation destination because of its location. Airline tickets are less expensive than most destinations. Travel time is shorter for many people as well.
But the weather isn’t always warm and dry. Winter and spring have lower risk of rain, but temperatures are often too chilly for swimming.
Summer has hot temperatures, but the risk of rain starts to climb. Rain can ruin visits to the area’s best tourist attractions.
Our video shows which months have scorching heat and which ones have water too cold for swimming.

    I was in Cancun for two weeks in September and it was absolutely beautiful. It was sunny every day, but each afternoon around 4-5pm there was a tropical downpour that would only last about an hour or so. It had no negative impact on the trip whatsoever. I actually highly prefer this time of year because it is much less crowded. You will have most beaches/cenotes/ruins/etc virtually to yourself.

    August shows to be the hottest month per the charts in your video. However it seems to be in between for rain also... With kids in school, and busy front half of the summer, early August is going to be our best option. What are your thoughts on August in Cancun?

  • @Caribeez

    @Caribeez

    6 жыл бұрын

    I dealt with the same issue when I had 3 kids in school. For August, I suggest going as early in the month as possible rather than later. The amount of rain in the Caribbean gradually gets worse during the summer and fall until reaching a high point in September and October. The same is true for Cancun. Rain is higher in August than July and much higher in September. So the risk of rain is lower in early August. But as usual, there are no certainties. It's all about the odds.

Because prices are way down -- thanks to a huge risk of rain. But I would only book at the last minute and after I saw a good weather forecast for the next 10 days.

The Caribbean hurricane season brings a lot of rain to Cancun during the fall. Tourism takes a big drop as a result. Winter water temperatures are cooler because of lower nighttime air temperatures. Summers are hot and humid.
