Weather in the Yucatan Peninsula by Christine Harrell
Many people dream of purchasing Yucatan real estate because of the amazing weather and the beautiful natural scenery. Like any place on earth, the weather isn't postcard ready 365 days of the year. There is no snow and ice in the Yucatan Peninsula, but there are seasons you'll want to familiarize yourself with before purchasing Yucatan real estate.
Spring in the Yucatan:
The months between January and April are warm but not too hot, the water is warm and rife with fish. If you plan on spending half of the year living on your Yucatan real estate, these are the months you'll want to be here. Prices are a little higher during this time of year because this is when most tourists choose to visit.
The Rainy Season:
Rain in the Yucatan isn't like that in Seattle or New York. The rains are generally warm and can be a welcome compliment to the heat. The amount and duration of rain you'll receive will depend on the location of your Yucatan real estate. During the rainy seasons between May and October, there can be rain almost every day along the coast. The rainy season inland will last just as long, but here the rain often doesn't last all day. Cancun and Cozumel have a second short rainy season between November and January. Before you choose an area in which to buy your Yucatan real estate, check the local weather patterns to be sure the weather suits your tastes.
What about Hurricanes?
Like tornados in Kansas or earthquakes in San Francisco, hurricanes are something to consider if you're thinking of purchasing Yucatan real estate. All of the things we love about tropical locations are exactly what make them prone to hurricanes. These storms have always been a part of Yucatan and builders have learned to construct homes and flood zones accordingly. When these heavy storms do come, they usually arrive between the months of August through October.
The Perfect Month:
The month of September is the ideal month here in the Yucatan. If you've purchased your Yucatan real estate as a vacation home, this is the month you'll definitely want to spend here. With the hot summer just winding down, the Caribbean Sea is literally hot, making for a soothing swim. This is perfect time for snorkeling and scuba diving as the warm water evokes an abundance of visible sea life.
According to many expatriates who have purchased Yucatan real estate, there is no bad time of the year in Mexico. Whether the tropical sun is beaming or the rain is drifting down, or the winds are blowing, each season has its own natural beauty and each offers a wonderful experience.
