My husband and I are planning a trip to Cancun at the end of October and now he's nervous because he says it's hurricane season. How often do hurricanes really hit? Also, is it necessary to have a passport if traveling from the US?

Hurricanes are a real threat at that time. This is supposed to be a busy year
Better and easier to have a passport ... you have time.
Drivers licence and notarized birth cert will do in a pinch

October is definitely part of hurricane season but that doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't go. While there is certainly a chance a storm will hit, the probability that one will hit while you are there is actually quite low. Based on statistics kept since 1851, the very peak week (in September) has one hurricane every 26 years - and October would be even lower. Prices should be much lower and crowds very light. You might look for travel insurance that covers weather but be careful - most policies are designed to cover illness and deaths in the traveling group or family, not weather.

it is a tough time of 12 months, yet i exploit my timeshare in Cancun each and every October. 2 years in the past, i became stranded interior the midst of typhoon Wilma. human beings have been crowding the airports and no one appeared to be waiting to pass away because of the chaos. even although, I nevertheless went decrease back. while there is not any unquestionably typhoon, it may desire to nevertheless rain daily for an hour or so midday, however the rain is clean. it is so warm and humid there that when the sunlight comes decrease back out it dries your clothing as we talk. the climate continues to be beautiful at that component of 12 months, and you ward off the loopy spring harm crowd, yet it continues to be bustling in Cancun. If a typhoon might project you, i might pass in a various time of 12 months, yet there won't continually be a typhoon.

You might want to go January or February. There's no crowd. And you don't need a passport, just a birth certificate, picture id and in your case a marriage license.

Hurricanes are really threatening, but the beaches aren't as crowded as in summer, plus, it's less expensive, so... yes
