Best time to visit Zapopan
Mexico · 20-year averages
Zapopan is a city of two halves. January scores 97 and June scores 51 — a 46-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. 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 33.4 °C and January the coolest at 24.6 °C — a 8.8 °C spread across the year. Around 93 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in May and the months either side.
There is a real wet season here. June to September carry the rain — up to 28 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, November and December drop as low as 0. That 28-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Zapopan, and it moves further than the temperature does.
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, February, November. The one to think twice about is June. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
