Weather Calendar in Yucatan

• December to February

During these months the climate in Merida is cool and at night the temperature drops a little. It’s ideal for most people because isn’t too hot or too cold, and if it rains it’s very light. These months are highly recommended for weddings at Haciendas or on the beach, so you and your guests will enjoy a sunny day without the heat!

December is one of the most requested months for weddings and usually, most of the places have a few dates available. Think of several options for your date, so you will have an alternative in case the place or service you want is already occupied.

• March to May

In these months there is a lot of sunshine, little chance of rain and many hours of natural light. Although it’s perfect for an outdoor wedding to enjoy the weather, during these days the temperature increases considerably. May can be especially very hot, so if you choose this month, opt for a cool place, like a cenote or Hacienda.

Planning to get married during the Easter holidays? We recommend you not.  Churches in Yucatan do not hold weddings on those days, so it’s very hard to perform a religious ceremony. Our recommendation is that you skip that specific week and choose the next or previous one.

• June to September

During these months, the heat is intense and as the date gets closer to September there is more chance of heavy rains. You can still consider them for your wedding as long as both you and your guests are used to the heat. August and September are weddings low season, so you can get more affordable prices.

• October and November

In these months Yucatan recovers its average temperature, but the closer it is to December you’re going to notice they drop a little. The rains usually end by then and the sunny days predominate again. November is usually very busy with weddings, especially on the beach since the temperature is very pleasant. Word of warning, prices might be a little higher those months.

Our advice is that you have several options for your wedding date. It’s also a good idea to plan a year in advance to avoid having what you want for your wedding already taken up.
