Climate zones of Mexico

Mexico's climate is shaped by mountains, oceans and currents. Mexican Highlands, Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico - nature has generously rewarded Mexico.

This country has two climatic zones: dry subtropical in the north, and tropical in the rest of the territory.

Fact! Mexico is a country of climate paradoxes. A striking example- in state Durango it can reach -26 °C, and in the state of Baja California (in particular, its municipality of Mexicali) temperatures up to +50 °C are recorded!

The so-called “Tropic of Cancer”, a conventional zone of division into climatic zones, divides Mexico into temperate regions ( north of latitude), and to regions to the south - with the tropical zone.

Narrower zoning can be done by region, depending on the topography:

  • Hot humid and semi-humid climate. Present on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, their lowland territories, the Yucatan Peninsula, the Isthmus of Teuntepec, and northern Chiapas.
  • Tropical dry climate. Prevails on interior plains Mexico. It is characterized by sudden temperature changes, extremely high temperatures and lack of precipitation.
  • Dry continental climate. Introduced in northwestern Mexico due to strong winds, which blow from central North America.

Tourist seasons in Mexico

Mexican tourist seasons depend on the vagaries of the weather. Dry and wet season We literally control all tourist flows in Mexico.

Fact! About 20 million tourists visit Mexico every year (about 7 million stay on cruise ships)! Among the tourist regulars are Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and Russians.

From May to October in Mexico is the rainy season, at this time powerful tropical cyclones, which bring hurricanes, strong winds and floods to the continent. The rainy season is most pronounced from June to September, and the most destructive force hurricanes reach the Gulf of Mexico and the state of Tabasco.

On a note! Hurricane beltdistinguishing feature Mexican climate. Geographical location allows strong winds to “walk” across all coastal areas. Combined with heavy rainfall, destructive winds batter eastern Mexico every year. The typhoon belt also covers one of the most popular resorts - Cancun. Additionally, Mexico is located on the "Pacific Volcanic Ring of Fire" - a place where the most powerful earthquakes occur and volcanoes erupt.

High season in Mexico it begins in November and lasts until the first rains in April.

Northern Mexico It is considered the driest - no more than 250 mm of precipitation per year. In the southern regions, on the contrary, up to 500 mm of precipitation falls per month, especially during the rainy season.

Pacific Coast in summer it boasts water temperatures up to +27 °C, but Caribbean Sea even warmer – up to +29°C!

Seasons in Mexico

  • Winter. From November to April is the driest period. The average air temperature in the Yucatan resorts is +30 °C.
  • Spring. The dry season gradually turns into a wet one. The temperature from March to mid-May is +27 °C, from the second half of April the wet season begins - the amount of precipitation gradually increases, and the temperature also rises.
  • Summer. The most problematic season from a tourism point of view. Air temperatures are high, but from June they begin to prevail heavy showers turning into storms and hurricanes. Most of them are on the eastern shore. At this time, it is worth planning a trip either to another point in the country, or postponing your vacation to mid-autumn.
  • Autumn. “Golden season” - not only Mexicans, but also numerous tourists think so. This is the transition period between rainy summer and dry winter. As part of acclimatization for a European, this is the most suitable time to visit Mexico.

Using the example of the main tourist spots, we can clearly see climatic features Mexico.

High season

The tourist season in Cancun usually begins in November-December and lasts until April. The dry season is characterized by hot weather, low rainfall, lack of wind and, as a result, less rough seas. The water temperature in the Caribbean Sea during these months is slightly lower than during the rainy season, but in general it is comfortable for vacationers - about 25-27 degrees.

Airfare prices at this time of year are noticeably higher than in the low season. If you are planning a trip during the high season, especially during the New Year and Christmas, we recommend booking hotels and buying tickets in advance.

Early booking and last minute tours

It is also better to purchase tours to Cancun in advance. Early booking will save up to 30% of the tour cost.

Rain season

The rainy season in Cancun lasts from May to November. At this time of year, you can often experience long tropical downpours, strong wind And high humidity air, which together with high temperature creates not the most favorable conditions for beach holidays and excursions. However, the tourist infrastructure at the resort operates even in the low season, hotels still accept guests, and guides take tourists on excursions.

The only downside to visiting Cancun during the rainy season is that you have to adapt to the weather. It is no longer possible to sunbathe in the sun at any time of the day, but under scattered rays the risk of getting a sunburn is much lower. The advantages of a holiday in Cancun during the low season include reduced prices for hotels, air tickets, rental houses and villas, entertainment, and more calm atmosphere on the beaches.

When is the best time to go to Cancun?

The best months for a holiday in Cancun are traditionally considered to be November, December, January, February, March and April. Russian tourists visit the resort throughout the year, but of course they give preference to the dry season.

When planning a trip to Cancun, you should also consider that the climate on the planet is Lately began to change and the weather periodically brings “surprises”, so the beginning and end of the seasons can easily shift by a month, and a tropical downpour can happen even when you’re not expecting it at all.
