Mexico can be visited all year round. Because of its varied geography, the climate changes by region, from warm coastal areas to cooler mountain cities.

The rainy season usually runs from late May to mid-September. Rain often comes in the late afternoon or evening, while mornings are usually sunny.

Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca and San Cristóbal can feel cool in the morning and at night because of their altitude, while daytime is usually warm.

A light sweater or jacket is recommended for mornings and evenings. During rainy season, bring a raincoat or compact umbrella.

Mexico is usually busier in June, July, mid-December to mid-January, Easter holidays, and school vacation periods in July and August.

Beach destinations can be busier from late February through April, especially popular coastal areas such as Cancún and the Mexican Caribbean.
