The climate in Cancun is tropical, with consistent hot and humid weather throughout the year, and very warm sea temperatures. Late June is especially hot, so come prepared or try the off season.

The best weather in Cancun is between December and April, when the temperatures are mild and pleasant, ranging from 23°C to 28°C (73°F to 82°F). This is also the dry season, which means that there is less rain and more sunshine. This is the ideal time to enjoy the beach, swim in the sea, or explore the nearby attractions, such as the Maya ruins or the cenotes. However, this is also the peak season, which means that Cancun is more crowded and expensive during this time.

The rainy season in Cancun runs from May to October, when the temperatures are higher and more humid, ranging from 25°C to 33°C (77°F to 91°F). This is also the time when Cancun receives most of its rainfall, especially in September, which is the wettest month with an average of 270mm of rain. The rain usually comes in short and intense showers, followed by sunny spells. This is also the time when Cancun is more prone to hurricanes and tropical storms, which can cause strong winds and flooding. However, this is also the best time to visit Cancun on a budget, as there are fewer tourists and lower prices. This is also the best time to see wildlife in Cancun, such as sea turtles and whale sharks, which are more active during this season.

The weather in Cancun can vary from day to day and from hour to hour, so it is always advisable to check the current weather forecast before planning your activities.
