Winter Weather in Mexico

Looking for an escape from frigid winter weather? In Mexico, you're more likely to slap suntan lotion on than your galoshes. You'll build sand castles while your neighbors back home build snowmen!

Though it's true that winter weather in Mexico is as varied as in the US, if you go to the Yucatan Peninsula you can expect daytime highs in the 70's and 80's with clear skies and a light breeze coming off the water.

Located on a coastal plain that stretches lazily into Mexico's mountainous interior, the Yucatan may experience storms, heavy rainfall, and higher temperatures during the summer, but the weather in Playa del Carmen is fairly mild. For the most pleasant climates, travelers are usually advised to visit the Yucatan between November and February. Many internationals have purchased homes in and around Playa del Carmen specifically for the winter months.

With Pre-Columbian ruins scattered throughout nearly every small town, you can walk through the physical annals of unrecorded history in your flip flops. Mexico holds 31 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the most of any country in the world, and is second only to India in the number of native ethnicities and languages! Come and experience the untapped treasure, wildlife, and culture of one of the World's quintessential destinations.
