Best time to visit Mexico

Mexico does not have a single best season. Its 13 destinations peak across 4 different months, which means an itinerary that moves around the country will be in the right season for some of it and the wrong one for the rest — worth building the route around.

Averaged across every destination listed, Mexico is at its best in December, scoring 94 out of 100, with January close behind at 93. June is the weakest month nationally at 47. The workable window is wide — 5 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.

There is real variation inside Mexico: 33 °C annually in Culiacán against 24 °C in Mexico City. Rain splits the country further: Cancún sees 167 wet days a year against 25 in Mexicali, which is a different kind of trip rather than a slightly damper one.
