When to go

Mexico is enjoyable year-round, but October to May is generally the most pleasant time to visit. The May-September period can be hot and humid, particularly in the south, and inland temperatures can approach freezing during December-February. Facilities are often heavily booked during Semana Santa (the week before Easter) and Christmas/New Year, the peak domestic travel periods.

Mexico's climate has something for everyone: it's hot and humid along the coastal plains, and drier and more temperate at higher elevations inland ( Guadalajara or Mexico City, for example). Try to avoid Mexico's southern coast between July and September, the resorts are decidedly soggy and jam-packed, as July-August is also the peak holiday months for foreign visitors
