Is it wise to go to Mexico in August september? Or would it be better to visit Buesnos Aires instead?

Question

I've heard there is high probabaility of a hurricaine hitting in 2008 - does it generally just hit cancun?

Answer 1

Cancun, MX hurricane season lasts from June to November with the highest chance of a hurricane occurring being in September and October.

There have been two major hurricane events in Cancun's tourism history. Hurricane Gilbert on Sept 15th 1988 and Hurricane Wilma on 21 October 2005. Hurricanes don't hit Cancun every year, far from it.

In August 2007 Cancun had a lucky near miss. Hurricane Dean looked dead set to strike Cancun with a ferocity similar ot that of Wilma. 48 hours beforehand Dean changed course and ended up making landfall some 200 miles south.

Mexico is such a big country...are you going to the Atlantic or the Pacific side of Mexico?
