\"\"Mexico is a vast country that boasts some of the world\u2019s most spectacular scenery, whether you\u2019re a beach lover or prefer cool mountain climes. Owing to its sheer size and geographic diversity, visitors will encounter different microclimates and weather patterns from coast to coast, which should be taken into consideration when planning a family vacation or romantic escape.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering about the best time of year for a Mexico vacation, the answer will hinge largely on your personal preferences and the various destinations that you\u2019ll be visiting. Some travelers (especially those seeking a winter vacation) crave warm, sunny weather and don\u2019t care too much about tourist crowds. Others may be looking for a more wallet-friendly trip with great discounts on condo rentals and tours, and don\u2019t mind the occasional downpour.<\/p>\n

Although temperatures fluctuate greatly depending on location and elevation, Mexico\u2019s weather is generally marked by a dry season and a rainy season.<\/p>\n

High tourist season in Mexico<\/h2>\n

December through April are the driest months in Mexico, which also coincides with peak tourist season. Average day time temperatures along popular beach towns like Cancun range between 82 and 91 degrees F, offering travelers perfect weather for a host of outdoor and water activities.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not keen on spending your vacation among hordes of Spring Breakers, which descend upon Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Playa del Carmen each year, plan your vacation so that it doesn’t coincide with the busiest spring break period (March and April). Keep in mind that Easter (locally known as Semana Santa) is another peak time for travel in Mexico, as local families flock to the coast for a few days of rest and relaxation. Accommodation prices during Easter week and other holidays tend to go up considerably, so if you\u2019re watching your budget, consider a trip during the \u201crainy\u201d or transition period.<\/p>\n

Low tourist season in Mexico<\/h2>\n

The rainy or \u201cwet season\u201d spans from May\/June through November throughout most of the country. Depending on the location, you may experience occasional drizzles or frequent late afternoon showers. A little rain shouldn\u2019t deter you however, as there is plenty of time to squeeze in fishing tours and sightseeing excursions.  <\/p>\n

One of the biggest advantages of this time of year is the lush, green vegetation and fewer tourist crowds.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to visit Baja California Peninsula, note that Mexico\u2019s hurricane season officially starts in June, which can bring heavy showers and the threat of storms to both the Pacific and Gulf coasts.<\/p>\n

Planning for seasonal wildlife activities<\/h2>\n

If there\u2019s a certain activity or festival on your bucket list, you may want to tailor your vacation dates accordingly.<\/p>\n
