Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

The weather in Acapulco is generally categorised by its two seasons. Acapulco's dry season generally falls between November and May, and this is a particularly popular time for tourists to visit the region, known for its warm climate and dry weather, with daytime temperatures averaging 31°C / 88°F and often rising higher. By day, beachwear is favoured and perfect in this climate, although by night, you may need to put on a pair of jeans or similar.

The wet season, between June and October, is when you can expect the highest levels of rainfall. However, don't be put off by this, since the wet season in Acapulco rarely puts a dampener on the day, with much of the rain predictably falling at night-time, being delayed by the surrounding mountainous region. This results in a fresh-feeling climate, lush vegetation and still bags of sunshine to go round.

Showers during the wet season in Acapulco are generally fairly brief and don't fall every single day at this time. In fact, you can expect sunny weather almost every day in Acapulco, which is why tourists arrive here throughout the year.
