Best time to visit Mexico, Guatemala and Belize

General information

Mexico, Guatemala and Belize are great destinations which can be visited all year round. Read on for more information on the weather and best time to travel to these Central American countries.

Mexico

Mexico is one of the few countries that can be visited throughout the year. The weather is great all year round and the temperatures here rarely drop below 20 degrees in the plains and 15 degrees in the highlands. Dry season lasts from November to May with plenty of sunshine and a refreshing breeze by the coast. Ideal for spending time at the beach in Tulum. June brings the monsoon with higher temperatures, humid air and the occasional tropical shower.

There is a chance of hurricanes hitting Mexico’s coastline in September-October, which has little-to-no effect on the areas further inland, often resulting in stronger-than-usual winds.

Guatemala and Belize

Weather in Guatemala and Belize is very similar to Mexico’s, with a dry winter and a humid summer. With lower temperatures up in the hills, make sure to pack a couple of long-sleeved jumpers alongside your t-shirts as it does get a lot cooler in the highlands at night.
