When traveling internationally, you need to consider weather changes, peak tourist seasons, and many other factors to find out when is the best time to plan your vacation. Visiting some resorts during the winter months can mean cold and wet weather, while peak travel seasons can bring large crowds that detract from your enjoyment of the beach and dining.
If you are planning a trip to Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California peninsula, you will be pleased to know that the weather is favorable and mild almost every day of the year. Summer temperatures from June to September reach the upper 30 degrees Celsius, but ocean breezes keep the weather from feeling too hot or humid. This is a perfect time to think about a beach vacation where you can sit in the sun, take scuba lessons or kayak, or try your hand at deep sea fishing.
During the winter months of December to February, average daytime temperatures reach around 20 degrees Celsius, a perfect climate to enjoy a horseback ride on the beach or a nightly bonfire after sunset. There are also many local shows that are performed during these months as the weather is a bit cooler and often a light long sleeve shirt is all you need to stay comfortable during these months.
Other months of the year average around 30 degrees Celsius and are sunny and bright, so any of these are perfect for travel. The month of August can see some summer rains, but the topography of the peninsula generally prevents them from reaching the beach areas.
Peak travel season is typically during the summer months, when tourists enjoy the warm weather on the beach, although the resorts are busy year-round. Choosing the best weather for your trip will mean choosing what is comfortable for you and what would work for your travel plans.
You can also see more tourists in Cabo San Lucas during the best wedding months, such as September and October or May and June, as Cabo is a favorite destination for honeymooners from all over the world. There are also a number of “snow birds”, or those who vacation when it is cold and snowy in their hometown, during the winter months of December to February.
There really is no bad time to vacation in Cabo San Lucas, as the towns in the area are built to cater for the large tourism businesses they support. The key to a successful trip anytime is planning ahead and securing your reservations, including restaurant reservations, excursions, charter flights, etc. This will ensure that you have the vacation of a lifetime when you travel to Cabo!
