Autumn in Cancun, MexicoCancunAutumn in Cancun is perfect with the average high at 81 degrees and a low of 73 degrees. June is the hottest month on average with temperatures around 82 degrees and the coldest month is January with temperatures around 73 degrees.

Average rainfall is about 47 inches for the year. April, May and August are the driest months of the year with fall being more likely for rain. The sea temperature is around 80 degrees the entire year with July being one of the hottest month with an average of around 84 degrees.

Cancun is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, a flat platform of limestone that emerged from the sea. The soil is not very thick so the vegetation is semi-tropical jungle with wild and exuberant fauna.

In Mexico there are many places where the tap water isn’t purified. We recommend that one does not drink the tap water. Most hotels in the Cancun Hotel Zone have their own purification systems, so you can safely shower, brush your teeth and use the ice. As a rule, make sure the cap on bottled water is securely sealed before you drink.

THERE IS SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO IN CANCUN!Discover culture of Cancun from ancient ruins to the authentic food! Enjoy the beauty of white sand beach just feet away from your room ocean view room! Play in the right blue ocean water with scuba diving, snorkeling or just swimming. Don’t forget to experience some of the unique Mexican Culture and area tours.
