The climate year of Cancún
Located on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cancún offers good weather all year round. Although there is a rainy season between May and September, it tends to be mild in Cancún, so heavy rains are rare. Since the temperatures remain high even during the rainy season and there are still many sunny days, Cancún is a destination that you can choose for a beach vacation all year round. However, one should always keep in mind that due to Cancun's proximity to the Caribbean, it is possible that Cancun can be hit by the foothills of the hurricane season there, so one should always keep an eye on the weather forecast if one decides to travel to Cancun during the rainy season. Most tourists who arrive during this time come to the Gulf of Mexico to dive, because there are fewer vacationers on site, so you can use this time to enjoy the beauty of the underwater world of Cancún undisturbed.
