Climate in Mexico in August
August is not the best time to travel to Mexico due to the high presence of tourists and the weather which is not ideal. However, Mexico is a large country with 4 time zones. Each state has its own specific climate and weather conditions that can vary significantly.
Below you will find all the information about the climate and weather in Mexico in August and also all the info on What to see in Mexico.
Climate in Mexico in August
The best time to visit Mexico is from October to May. This excludes the summer months, particularly August, when heavy rains and even violent storms and hurricanes are common.
In August, the climate in Mexico is very humid and hot along the coastal plains on both sides of the country, and it is a bit drier and more temperate inland and at higher elevations. Mexico City, for example, is located over 2,000 meters high on a plateau, and here the summers are cooled by rain and wind.
Rainy Season
The rainy season in Mexico runs from May to October and is characterized by very high temperatures and daily downpours.
The southern coast of Mexico is particularly hot in August and generally during the period from July to September.
If you want to have a beach vacation without dedicating time to visiting cities, towns, and archaeological sites, August can be considered a good month to go to the beach. In the Yucatan, for example, daily storms usually clear up quickly and are concentrated in the afternoons. The water temperature is nearly constant throughout the year, making it a great idea to be at the beach even though it isn't the absolute best time! CHECK ALSO: LIVE IN MEXICO
You will have to avoid some evening downpours and see the beautiful sun often covered by clouds, but this is nothing that should be categorically avoided (aside from the maximum tourist influx) or that prevents you from enjoying the beach.
In August, coastal areas of the south reach 35°C during the day.
Even during the dry season, the same temperatures are reached, but they drop significantly at night, allowing us to breathe, which doesn't happen in August.
