Weather
The climate in Mexico varies according to altitude. Coastal areas and lowlands are hot and steamy with high humidity, while the central plateau is temperate even in winter. The climate of the inland highlands is mostly mild, but sharp temperature changes occur between day and night. The cold lands lie above 2000 m (6600 ft). Rainfall varies significantly from region to region. Only the Sierra Madre Oriental, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the state of Chiapas in the far south receive any appreciable amount of rain during the year, with the wet season running between June and September. All other areas have rainless seasons, while the northern and central regions of the central plateau are dry. There is some snow in the north in winter. The dry season runs from October to May.
The best time to visit Mexico is September or May, though some parts still have a fair amount of rain in October and November. It rains most during the summer.
Mexico City is chilly in the early morning and at night during the winter. Be prepared for higher humidity in coastal areas and inland archaeological sites in the Yucatan peninsula. Summer temperatures can hover at the 100 F/38 C range with near 100% humidity. The average coastal day temperatures year-round are in the 70s-80s F/23-32 C, with nights in the 60s-70s F/15-27 C.
Ensenada’s climate is similar to that of southern California: mild and dry. Average daytime temperatures range from around 65 F/18 C in winter to 78 F/25 C in summer. Winter nights sometimes dip into the 40s F/5-15 C. Although rainfall is less than 10 inches per year, those rainstorms that find their way to the area will generally do so between December and March.
