Seasons: Mexico, with its diverse regions, offers varied climates and seasons that cater to different types of travelers. In Cancun, the humid and hot summer months should be avoided (May - September), any other months are ideal to visit, especially March-May. Meanwhile, Cabo San Lucas, situated on the Baja California Peninsula, the rainy period is from July to September, and I would avoid a trip to Cabo during those months . For those planning to explore Mexico City's cultural treasures, the temperate climate makes it a year-round destination, with mild winters (November - February) being particularly pleasant for sightseeing.
