Worried about the weather? Stress less: all weather is taco weather, in our humble and hungry opinion. But if you’re keen to make the most of your time in Mexico and see more fiesta than siesta, it’s worth knowing what to expect when it’s not raining mezcal.
Weather in Mexico City
Sitting at an altitude of 2200–2600 metres (6200–8500 feet), Mexico City has a large temperature range no matter the season. It’s generally quite warm during the day while the evenings can be chilly. Most of the rain falls across the summer months of June, July and August.

Weather on the Riviera Maya

Weather in Oaxaca
Oaxaca enjoys a mild winter and warm, rainy summer, though the rainfall is not as intense as in other parts of Mexico. The region’s capital city, Oaxaca, sits at 1550 metres (5000 feet) above sea level so the night temperature in winter can sometimes drop well into the single digits, while the days remain pleasant.
