The turn of the year and the early months bring the coldest and driest weather, a good time to visit Mexico if you aren’t a fan of the heat. As the year rolls into May and onwards to August, temperatures soar virtually everywhere, and it becomes wetter on the Pacific coast.

September brings hurricane season, which doesn’t necessarily mean hurricanes, but it probably does mean a bit more rain. For the Day of the Dead, you’ll want to be in Mexico on November 2nd.
