Each season is magical in Tulum, but you don’t want to be under the rain for sure during a relaxing day at the beach! So that’s why taking a deeper look at the average weather in Mexico and especially in Tulum before your travel is pretty important to decide which time of the year is the best. Let’s quickly check out all the months and main season of the year for then check in detail December and winter in Tulum. Ready? Let’s take a trip between sun and rain! 

January to March, the end of winter, is still a really good time to travel to Tulum. Hotel are applying cheaper prices, beaches are less crowded and the number of tourists is smaller than you can expect. An average night in Tulum during this period is pretty lively and you still have many events, concerts and DJ sets. Cenotes and beaches will be your favorite destination to swim and chill under the sun, which is up for more hours compared to another season. The precipitation are really not high, so you will not have to worry about rainfall or humidity. It’s our favorite season of the year!

Spring in Tulum and in this part of Mexico can be though: temperature increase a lot during the day and the night, going to the beach during the day can be difficult because the average temperature can be easily 105 fahrenheit degrees, water is more hot and you will have many seaweeds as well. If you want to plan your trip in these months, we don’t really recommend you to do so. On the other hand, if you can bear high temperatures, most hotel are applying really good prices especially in June. So if you are on a budget and you aren’t afraid of sunny days, this is the real deal.

This is definitely the season you should avoid! If winter in Mexico is the best time of the year and has the best temperatures, August is not the same. Temperature in this case is not the problem, but what can become the real issue is the rain season and its humidity. So if weather is important for you, you should really avoid traveling in August. You don’t want rain to interrupt your day visiting cenotes or beaches, believe us. Moreover the water of the sea can really not be clear, so if you want to scuba dive or kite surfing it might not be possible due to weather conditions. It’s true that the beach is pretty empty in this period, but you’ll quickly understand why! Again if you travel on a budget, booking a hotel now will cost you way less than in December due to the good prices they apply in this period of the year. 

These months are the best to visit Tulum and in general this area of Mexico. Weather is always sunny, many festivals, events, concerts are held and you will have a blast! The warm sun will bronze your skin and you will only have to think which cocktail to order while at the beach. Precipitation are almost zero during the month and the wind is never that strong. November is definitely the deal to book your vacations because prices are not high as in December, and much data will still be free. If you land in Cancun airport, prices will also be cheaper than during other good months such as these ones. But let’s go on and see what December has in store for you and how the average weather will be!
