What are the seasons like in the Riviera Maya?
The Riviera Maya does not experience a marked seasonal variation as in other regions of the world, it enjoys a temperate tropical climate, with pleasant temperatures all year round and a low level of humidity in the air throughout the year (which is very good for the skin, especially if it is dry!). Even during the hottest months, the sea breeze keeps the worst of the heat away, and when it rains it is usually at night. Plus, the rains are warm, so you won't have to worry about a cold drizzle ruining your day.
What is your earth temperature like?
Land temperatures in the Riviera Maya are warm year-round, with an average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. The region experiences maximum temperatures ranging between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius during the summer, while minimum temperatures can vary between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius during the winter.
However, due to its location on the coast, the sea breeze and humidity can make the temperature cooler and more comfortable compared to other tropical regions with similar climates. In the winter months, it becomes a popular destination for tourists fleeing the northern frosts. The privileged location of the area means that temperatures remain mild and the climate temperate even during the hottest times of the year.
What is the water temperature like?
One of the best things about the weather in the Riviera Maya is the fact that the waters are warm and relaxing. Along the Yucatan peninsula runs a current that brings warm waters from further south. So the water temperature is pleasant all year round. With an average temperature of 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, the water is ideal for water sports, swimming and enjoying the beach. During the summer, the water temperature can reach 30 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for a refreshing swim.
In addition, underwater visibility is usually between 15 and 30 meters in the ocean, but in the cenotes that dot the land, visibility can be 90 meters or more.
What is the water temperature in the cenotes?
Cenote water is usually at an average temperature of 24°C . Its temperature is cool and does not rise because they are fed by subway rivers that have little contact with solar energy.
Dry Season and Wet Season
For most foreigners who have lived in areas of the Riviera Maya for several years, the constant temperature is probably the main reason they stayed in this part of the world. However, those who don't like the humidity may find it a little more difficult between July and August, because it gets humid here.
The good news is that you can always jump into the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea and cool off a bit if it's too much! March, on the other hand, might be the best month of the year because the humidity is low, which makes the temperature a little more pleasant.
