Riviera Maya Weather
One of the most exotic vacation spots to visit is Riviera Maya. This place offers all that you seek in a Caribbean Vacation Destination, like sand, sunshine, beaches, pristine environment, culture spots, great local cuisine and much more.
Before you venture here for your vacation, you need to be aware of the local weather, so that you can plan your vacation just right. Since this place has a semi-tropical kind of climate, the average yearly temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 ? Celsius) and this temperature can go up to100? degrees Fahrenheit (37.7? Celsius) in summer time. The temperature during winter months can drop at night, so you might require a sweater at such times.
Here is a look at the weather in more detail, so that you can choose which months are ideal for vacationing here:
* February to March – These two months are really calm and serene. The temperature is just right and you will find all the beach areas to be just perfect for swimming, snorkeling or diving, as it’s neither too hot, not too cold.
* April to May – The rains begin in April as these two months see the heaviest rainfall. Temperatures rise and you can also see jelly fish, or ‘agua mala’ coming on the shore in the beaches in May, when heat increases. If you wish to swim in the cenetos, this is the perfect time to do it.
v* June to August – These are the really hot and humid months. Staying close to water sources or spending most of the time in beach areas, cenetos, lagoons is the best thing to do. Rains can come in the afternoons or evening, but this also tends to bring out more humidity. You would need an air conditioner in the evening and at night.
* September to October – These are also months in which heavy rainfall will happen. However, it is not cool even through it rains heavily.
* November to January – Climate is really cool and dry during these months. The evenings are breezy and quite pleasant. The evenings can get really cold with temperatures dropping to 15.5C.
As you can see, the rainy months fall between April to November with April, May September and October being the months that receive the heaviest of rainfall. Be sure to bring in rain coats, cotton clothing and light weight clothes when you book your vacation during this time. Once you begin your vacation keep up with the local weather through the radio station or local newspapers, which show you daily weather report. This way you can plan to go out when the weather is fine and no showers are expected during the day, which is important when you have to travel a bit away from your hotel. If you plan to come between November to January you should consider bringing a sweater as the nights can get really cold. February to March is pretty much an ideal time for vacationing as there is no extremes of weather at this time. The breeze is cool, sunshine is really warm and pleasant and the beach waters are clear and very smooth.
