The main attraction of this Mexican resort is that there are no pronounced weather seasons, and therefore a vacation in Cancun can be planned at any time of the year. The city is located on the Yucatan Peninsula and is washed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea. The climate in this part of Mexico is very mild, maritime, and temperature fluctuations range from +27 degrees in January to +32 in July. The water in the Mexican sea warms up to + 25 degrees even at the height of winter, and in the summer season in Cancun the Caribbean Sea looks like melted turquoise marmalade.
Beach vacation
The main hotels of the resort are concentrated on the spit, which stretches from north to south for more than twenty kilometers. In its upper part, there are the most peaceful beaches, which are not subject to waves even during storms. This is due to the proximity of the Island of Women, which serves as a kind of breakwater for the beaches of Cancun. On the southern part of the spit, during the rainy season in Cancun, there may be quite "adult" waves, which neither rescuers nor common sense allow to dive into.
About rains and hurricanes
The rainy season in Cancun begins in late spring. In June, the first portion of solid precipitation falls, and the rest of vacationers is occasionally disturbed by night thunderstorms. They bring pleasant freshness in the morning, and their effects disappear with the daytime sun. The second series of bad weather plays out at the end of August and continues until the beginning of November. During this time, there is the greatest likelihood of hurricanes and storm winds. However, the guests of the resort have no reason to worry, because the hotel zone is planned and built in such a way that a strong wind cannot cause any harm to its guests.
When to fly to Cancun?
Answering the most frequent question of travelers going to Mexico, guides and guidebooks consider the end of winter and the beginning of spring to be the best time for a beach holiday. This season in Cancun has the most pleasant water and air temperatures and relatively low humidity, allowing you to fully enjoy all the delights of the Caribbean and boast a perfect tan when you return home.
For those who cross the ocean hoping not only to lie on the beach, but also to get acquainted with the treasures of the ancient Mayan civilization, this period is also more suitable than others. Low air humidity and daytime temperatures not too tending to the hottest maximum will allow you to explore the ancient Indian pyramids with great comfort.
