When is the best time of year to vacay in Cancun area?

Question

Best weather vs. hurricanes vs. crowds?

Answer 1

Best time for me is after easter. Late April to June. the weather is great and kids are back in school. July to august is very hot. I got married in december and the weather is ok about 80 to 90. the only thing i really loved about dec is the lights @ night for x-mas. all the hotels put lights and trees (it looks really nice). but really anytime is great to visit cancun. I dont care if it rains all week, atleast i am near the beach and it doesn't rain all day in cancun mostly in the am and the rest of the day is great. Enjoy and have a great time.

Answer 2

I went just before hurricane season and it was great.  I don't recommend going during the season...other than that, it's great anytime except during spring break

Answer 3

Hi,

What I have found is the off season. Late June and July. This will be the time of year with less rain. The Yucatan will not get real hot with the Trade Winds that blow off the Caribbean Sea you will see daytime temps close to 90 at times. The Hurricane season starts in early August through November.

The other times of year I like is late November and Early December up to the 22nd.This is when the population starts to increase. You will have real light crowds in Early December and again Mid January to the end of February.

For the money and seclusion we like Cozumel. During the same time of year we had very few people to deal with and at times the beach was all our own. Email me at Big Kat if you want details on the best way and best place to stay on Coz.
