Weather lowdown

When September comes around, the temperatures start cooling off but the rainfall amounts hit the highest of the year for Tulum. Don't let the high chance of rain put you off to visiting, however. The rainstorms that come through may be heavy, but typically don't last all day and come in short bursts. Still, with 220 mm falling over the course of the month and 15 days of rain, you'll want to have the umbrella handy.

The average daily temperature for this part of North America reaches 28°C (around 82°F), a nice temperature for exploring the Mayan ruins in the area or, spending the day at the beach. The average sea temperature for this time of the year is 29°C (about 84°F). Bring along the sunscreen with a high SPF to avoid looking like a lobster for the remainder of your holiday. The area gets around six hours of daylight, plenty of time to get sunburned.

At night, the lows drop down to 24°C (about 75°F), bringing some relief from the heat of the day. Find a bar or restaurant with outdoor seating and enjoy a cold drink in the warm night air. During the day, the highs climb to 31°C (about 88°F), extending the summer heat even into the autumn months. You'll want lightweight summer clothing like shorts, t-shirts, and tank tops to stay cool and comfortable in the heat of the day.

Check the local forecast before you go, but more than likely, you'll get normal highs and lows during your stay. The highest recorded temperature occurred when the high jumped all the way to 38°C (about 100°F), feeling pretty stifling especially when combined with the humidity. The lowest recorded temperature dropped down to 21°C (around 70°F), not far from the normal low.
