Visiting Cancun During Hurricane Season

Table of Contents

Cancun is a fantastic destination any time of year, but savvy travelers know that this Caribbean beach paradise can be at its very best during the rainy, or hurricane season.

Cancun’s rainy season starts in June and can run through to November, with the wettest months being September and October. While hurricanes are possible over this time period, the risk is extremely low in Cancun, where only two hurricanes have made landfall in the last 35 years.

Why Visit Cancun During Hurricane Season?

Traveling to Cancun and the Riviera Maya region during the rainy season can have several benefits.

For one, crowds are at their lowest, which means more space on the beaches and easier-to-get reservations at your favorite restaurants. You will also find fewer tourists and more open space at the area’s famed attractions, from jungle-shrouded cenotes to the beachfront Mayan ruins of Tulum.

With fewer crowds in Cancun, the atmosphere during rainy season is more laid-back and easygoing—and your trip is oftentimes more affordable. Those looking for a deal can usually find lower rates on accommodations and airfare at this time of year.

What Is the Weather Like During Hurricane Season?

Hurricane season in Mexico may conjure up images of grey skies, high winds, and constant rainfall, but the opposite is true for the majority of the June to October period. While tropical storms can occur throughout the season, the weather is pleasant for most summer months, with mornings and afternoons typically sunny and mild. Rains often fall in the evening, making it easy to get the most out of your vacation days. Come September, the humidity and rainfall increase, but most days still offer plenty of hours – and plenty of fun – in the sun.

How Safe Is Cancun During Hurricane Season?

It is always essential to think about safety when planning your beach getaway. However, with advances in technology, meteorologists can track and predict storm patterns far in advance, and warnings are issued to tourists and locals long before hurricanes reach land. And given the rarity of hurricanes in Cancun—the last two major storms were in 1988 and 2005—the chances of extreme weather interrupting your vacation are very slim.

Even if it does rain during the day on your vacation, there are plenty of activities available in Cancun. The region’s abundance of water-based activities – like swimming with dolphins or scuba-diving – can be done while it is raining. On land, tours to underground rivers like the stunning Rio Secreto, with its impressive stalagmites and stalactites, will cater to your adventurous instincts. And of course, a luxury spa at your hotel is the perfect place to relax during an afternoon tropical storm.

Whatever your pleasure, you will encounter everything Cancun has to offer – from beautiful beaches and world-class adventures to fine dining and exciting nightlife. So next time you’re thinking about Cancun, consider a trip during the rainy season for an unforgettable experience in this tropical paradise.
