The best month to recommend is "January"

January is one of the most comfortable months to travel to Mexico. Many areas are in the dry season, with relatively mild temperatures and low humidity, making it suitable for a wide range of travel styles, from beach resorts to inland ruins. In particular, the Caribbean coast, such as Cancun and Playa del Carmen, enjoys sunny days and beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. In cultural cities such as Mexico City and Oaxaca, the daytime is comfortable and the nights are only a little chilly, so cold weather measures are not required.

January is a time when tourists are most likely to move around, so there are many facilities and events in tourist destinations, and it is a season with stable security and convenience. In addition, there are few public holidays and events, and the local area is relatively calm, so there is little worry about crowds and soaring accommodation costs. Tourist attractions and restaurants are open many times, so you can enjoy stress-free. It is the best time for both active sightseeing and relaxing resort stays.

The least recommended month is "September"

September is the month you should avoid the most when traveling to Mexico. This is the end of the rainy season, and the risk of not only squalls but also typhoons and storms increases, which often causes major disruptions to travel and outdoor sightseeing. In particular, in resort areas on the Yucatan Peninsula and the Pacific coast, sudden weather deterioration causes traffic congestion and frequent cancellations of ships and sightseeing tours. Sightseeing plans do not proceed as expected, making it unsuitable for travel with a limited schedule.

In addition, there is a risk of road flooding and landslides due to rain, which is a safety concern, especially when traveling around the region. In addition, high humidity and high temperatures make it easy to get sick, which greatly reduces the comfort of the trip. Accommodation and airfare prices tend to be cheaper, but considering that they are heavily dependent on the weather, there is a high possibility that the overall satisfaction of the trip will decrease. Therefore, we do not recommend visiting Mexico in September, especially for those who are visiting Mexico for the first time or those who are thinking of a sightseeing-centered trip.
