Warm and pleasant conditions call for comfortable summer clothing — a t-shirt or light blouse, shorts or a light skirt, and comfortable shoes. Evenings will cool down, so toss a light jacket or cardigan into your bag for later.

What Is the Climate Like in Mexico?

Mexico sits within the tropical zone, meaning warm to hot temperatures year-round with relatively small seasonal variation. The main weather driver here isn’t temperature change but rather the wet and dry seasons. During the rainy season, expect heavy afternoon downpours, high humidity, and lush green landscapes. The dry season brings sunny, warm days with lower humidity — generally considered the most comfortable time to visit.

It’s worth noting that Mexico sits at an elevation of 2062 meters, which significantly impacts its climate. As a general rule, temperatures drop by approximately 6.5°C for every 1,000 meters of altitude gain. This means conditions here can be considerably cooler than in nearby lowland areas. Mountain weather is also typically more unpredictable, with rapid changes and higher precipitation totals.

In February, which falls in winter — the coldest months with short days, and potential for snow or frost depending on location, conditions in Mexico are typical of the seasonal pattern. The forecast data above gives you the most accurate real-time picture of what to expect right now.

Travel Tips for Mexico

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, understanding the local weather helps you make the most of your time in Mexico. Here are some practical tips:

Packing essentials: Based on current conditions, your suitcase should include light, breathable clothing, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen SPF 30+), comfortable walking shoes, and a reusable water bottle.

Best time of day for outdoor activities: With today’s conditions, most of the day should work well for outdoor activities. Plan longer excursions during the warmest part of the day if temperatures are on the cool side.
