The Yucatan Peninsula is the hottest and most tropical part of Mexico, especially from June to August when humidity is high, although temperatures usually don’t exceed 90°F (32°C). Rainy season runs from May to mid-October and is characterised by late afternoon tropical showers, lasting for a short time only. Hurricane season particularly affects the Yucatan, especially from June to October, although in their absence the cooling winds can make it a perfect time to visit.
