The climate of Riviera Maya (Mexico)
Riviera Maya is the coastal area along the Caribbean Sea in the
federal state of Quintana Roo on the Yucatan peninsula. Riviera Maya
is situated in between Tulum and Cancun. The name Riviera Maya is a
combination of two things that can be found here: beautiful white
beaches and ancient Maya temples. Riviera Maya has a subtropical
climate with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters. The rainy
period is from June till the second part of October and may be quite
fierce. Hurricane season is from September till December. The skies
may turn from bright blue into pitch black in a matter of minutes.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
