Best time to travel to Mexico
The best time to visit Mexico’s beach destinations is during the dry season (November to April), when sunny skies and warm temperatures make for ideal vacation weather. This is also peak season, so book early for the best fares. The shoulder months of May and October offer good weather with fewer crowds and lower prices. Summer (June to September) brings higher humidity and occasional rain, particularly on the Pacific coast, but also the lowest rates.
