Tulum weather at a glance

  • Tulum is a tropical Caribbean coast destination: **warm and humid year-round**, with rain bursts (showers) shaping daily comfort.
  • Roughly Dec–Apr is the drier season, while May–Oct is the rainy season with frequent afternoon showers.
  • Hurricane season runs Jun–Nov (highest risk often Aug–Oct). It’s about higher variability and potential disruptions rather than constant storms.
  • Compared with Cancun, Tulum has more jungle/cenote routes, so **mosquitoes, slippery surfaces, and wet conditions** can matter more after rain.
  • Sargassum seaweed varies widely by year and week—keep Plan B options like cenotes, lagoon time, or resort pools.
