Yucatán Peninsula in April

November through April offers the sweet spot—dry weather, lower humidity, and temperatures in the 80s. December and January see the most crowds and highest prices, especially around Christmas and New Year. February and March give you perfect weather with fewer tourists. April heats up but stays manageable. May through October brings rain, humidity, and hurricane risk, though you'll find better deals and empty beaches. The rainy season isn't constant downpours—more like afternoon thunderstorms that cool things off. Hurricane season peaks August through October, though direct hits remain rare. Avoid spring break weeks in March if you want to skip the college crowds in Cancún and Playa del Carmen. For the best cenote swimming, visit during dry season when water levels stay consistent and visibility peaks.
