WeathereditThe climate in Cancun is tropical, with consistent hot and humid weather throughout the year, and very warm sea temperatures. Late June is especially hot, so come prepared or try the off season. Hurricanes can be a major threat in late summer and autumn. Like most resort areas in the Caribbean, Cancun gets hit with a really severe hurricane every 1. The last really bad one was Hurricane Wilma in 2. Cancuns famous beaches. Thousands of hapless tourists spent their precious vacations jammed into hurricane shelters waiting for Wilma to pass, then waited days in the humid tropical heat with no air conditioning for transport home.

Cancuns tourist traffic went to Cabo San Lucas triggering a massive construction boom there while Cancun painstakingly rebuilt its resorts and dredged the ocean to bring the white sand back to its beaches. The moral of this story is to buy really good trip insurance if your trip is scheduled during hurricane season, have a backup vacation or staycation plan, and cancel promptly if a hurricane is forecasted the week before your trip.
