Where to go when - our guide to Mexico

The weather in Mexico is wide and varied
Mexico is an enormous country with a variety of landscapes and climates to match. The best time to visit depends on your priorities. For exciting cultural events, you’d do well to visit during Day of the Dead on 1-2 November, with colourful parades and skeletal costumes, or on Independence Day on 16 September which is celebrated with military parades and cries of ‘Viva Mexico!’ For outdoor adventures and sports including hiking, mountain biking and snorkelling, it is advisable to visit during the drier season from November - April, which offers cooler temperatures, clearer seas and reduced rainfall across the country. Visit Baja California or Puerto Vallarta between January - March to catch sight of humpbacks, blue and gray whales which breed and calve in the sheltered tropical bays. Between May and October there is more rainfall across the country, with hotter temperatures and higher humidity, particularly around the coastal areas. The busiest months for visitors are December - January and July - August, when you can expect lively crowds and a buzzing atmosphere.
