Mexico City weather at a glance

  • Mexico City sits at ~2,200m elevation, so **warm days and cool mornings/nights** are common—think year-round layering.
  • Seasonality is driven more by **rain patterns** than temperature: roughly Nov–Apr is the dry season, and May–Oct is the rainy season (often afternoon showers).
  • Dry-season winter (Dec–Feb) is sunny and dry with big day–night swings; UV can be strong at altitude.
  • Rainy season (Jun–Sep) often brings afternoon rain that interrupts plans; an umbrella or light rain shell is high value.
