Weather in Mexico in July
July is in the middle of the rainy season, but don’t be disheartened, Mexico has plenty to offer in any season! You will find the coast to be hot, humid, and wet with some afternoon showers, which can sometimes be a relief in the heat.
The average temperature in Mexico in July varies depending on the location. In Mexico City, for example, the average high temperature in July is around 75°F (24°C) and the average low temperature is around 55°F (13°C).
In Cancun, which is located on the Caribbean coast, the average high temperature in July is around 89°F (32°C) and the average low temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
My tip, if you’re looking for cooler weather, head to the cities. If you head to the Pacific Coast, places like Baja California, has temperatures that range from 95-105 °F. In Mexico City, the average relative humidity in July clocks at 74%.
In the Yucatan Peninsula, you get an average high of 90 -95°F during the day and about 80-85 °F during the night. July is hurricane season in the Peninsula so do expect some rain showers during your trip.
When is Rainy season in Mexico?
The rainy season in Mexico runs from May to October. If you decide to visit in July, you can expect some rain. Some good news is it won’t rain all day every day, just around an hour or so in the afternoons, which may be the perfect excuse to sneak in a siesta!
You can either prepare for the rain with an umbrella or rainproof jacket or stick to doing a few indoor activities when it’s raining.
The international hurricane season in Mexico also runs from June to November, so just be aware that if you travel to Mexico during this time you could experience some stormy weather.
Hurricanes themselves are very rare and storms tend to pass quickly so don’t worry about it, but it’s worth thinking about when choosing your destination in July.
The Adventure in You team has been in Mexico during 2 hurricane seasons and while it is scary, the hotels are all very equipped in handling these situations if they do happen!
Average Temperatures for Mexico in July
Mexico is huge so the average temperature will depend on where you’re visiting. You can expect temperatures around the mid-80s to low 90°F.
If you’re planning on visiting Mexico in July, just be warned that the humidity levels are quite high so it can feel a bit warmer than the average temperatures and weather data that is reported.
Why Visit Mexico in July
There are still plenty of reasons to visit Mexico in July. Despite the weather, there is still plenty to do. Even though it’s classed as the rainy season, you will still see plenty of sun. July is a popular time for families to visit Mexico, but on the whole, it will be quieter than high season.

Popular Places to Visit in Mexico in July
I will take you through the best places in July for the optimum weather for exploring the area and making the most of the activities on offer.
1. Cancun in July
Cancun is a super popular destination so you’ll find visitors in any month, and although July is no exception, it is one of the quieter months due to the humidity. The average humidity in Cancun in July is 76%.
July is part of the rainy season for Cancun, but it’s likely hotter than the dry months! With average high temperatures hitting 91°F during the day and can be as high as 80°F at night!! There are only around 5 rainy days in July so although it’s officially part of the rainy season, you won’t see much rain unless there is a tropical storm coming.
With the hot weather, we would recommend spending some time in the waters of Cancun. If you are a thrill seeker you could try this Jungle Tour Adventure with Speedboat and Snorkeling to combine some adrenaline and cool off in the sea. Or for something a bit more low-key, check out Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid which mixes some culture and also a refreshing dip in the Cenote!
July is the best time to see and swim with sharks, so much so that there’s actually a Shark Festival in Isla Mujeres. It’s quite easy to get from Cancun to Isla Mujeres. Or you could enjoy this Whale Sharks tour.

You can then plan inside tours for the afternoon when the rain is due such as Mexico’s famous Anthropology Museum. If you’re looking for something to do in the evening, a must not miss in Mexico City is the Lucha Libre Night for a night of entertainment and tacos.
