weather in cancun?

Question

We'll be going to Cancun from September 28 - October 5. I know it's in Hurricane season, but are we really going to be affected? Thanks!

Answer 1

This is right off a web site but they have up to 10 day forecasts and should be a great help. As far as Hurricanes go you should be fine. Odds of one hitting are very slim. But... If one is coming get out of there fast. I have been in one last year in Vietnam and it was not a fun thing.


Weather in Cancun, Riviera Maya and Cozumel
Cancun and the whole Yucatan peninsula are home to one of the world's most sunny climates, but as if to compensate for that, we occasionally have strong winds and rain during the months of September, October and November. But don't worry about that. It's nearly guaranteed that you will see the sun every day of your stay.
The average annual temperature of Cancun and the Riviera Maya is 25.5 degrees Celsius (78 degrees Fahrenheit), with fluctuations of 5 to 7 degrees. But frequently daytime highs range into the eighties and overnight lows will see the high fifties and low sixties. In July, August and September, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the sky, which can change from overcast to clear in minutes. From November to April, there are usually blue skies and a cool northern wind.

The climate changes are minimal in this area, so visitors should always pack clothes for swimming and warm weather. A light jacket, shawl or sweater is advisable for the evenings of November, December and January.

Yucatan's inland areas tend to be ten to fifteen degrees warmer than the coast, which is perfect in winter, but furnace like in the spring (up to 110 degrees!).

Any how, put on your sunglasses and get ready to enjoy one of the brightest blue skies in the world.

Another site to check is www.weather.com You can get the weather forcast for the month. This is not much help right now, but will be as your trip approaches.

I have been to cancun 4 times now, and I have always enjoyed it. The one time I went at the end of Nov. The water was very cool.... however with the recent weather they have had, the water has been around 80 degrees year round.

I love Cancun, there is a lot of culture and ecological parks to see. It is almost like stepping back in time. My only advice, beware of timeshare sharks,.... Do not go anywhere with them,... they promise a free trip, or free food but it is not worth wasting a day of your vacation to hear broken English and have cheap food. :)

Enjoy your trip!

It will be hot, humid and you'll be in for a ride of a hurricane if one forms.
