As shown in the live forecast above, Mexico’s weather today ranges from 28°C to 35°C along the coast, with cooler highs in the highlands. The country is entering its wet season, so expect afternoon showers in many regions, especially near Cancún and the Riviera Maya.
What drives Mexico’s daily weather and seasonal shifts?
Mexico’s climate is shaped by latitude, altitude, and two main seasons: dry (November–April) and wet (May–October). Coastal areas like Cancún, Tulum and Cozumel stay warm year-round, with average highs of 30–35°C. Inland cities such as Mexico City sit at 2,200 metres, so daytime temperatures often drop to 12–15°C at night. The Yucatán Peninsula sees its heaviest rain from June to October, while the Pacific coast can experience tropical storms. For a 10-day outlook, the live forecast above provides hourly and daily details for your chosen city.
How does the weather vary across Cancún, Riviera Maya, and Tulum?
These Caribbean destinations share a tropical climate. Cancún and the Riviera Maya average 28–32°C year-round, with water temperatures around 27°C. Tulum is slightly breezier, and Cozumel often enjoys clearer skies. The wet season brings brief but intense afternoon downpours, while the dry season (December–April) offers the most sunshine.

What is the best time to visit Mexico for good weather?
For beach destinations like Cancún, Riviera Maya and Tulum, the dry season from December to April offers the most sunshine and lowest humidity. May is hotter but still pleasant for early-morning excursions.
Does Mexico ever get cold?
Yes, especially in northern deserts and highland cities. Mexico City can drop to 6°C in winter mornings, and northern states like Chihuahua see frost. Coastal areas rarely fall below 20°C.
