Best time to visit Mérida

January is the best month in Mérida, scoring 79 out of 100, with June the weakest at 38. The 41-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 4 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

May is the warmest month at 36 °C and January the coolest at 29.2 °C — a 6.8 °C spread across the year. 257 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. June to September carry the rain — up to 23 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April and December drop as low as 4. That 19-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Mérida, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 24 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight runs from 10.9 hours in winter to 13.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are January, December, November. The one to think twice about is June. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
