Best time to visit Mérida:

Winter (December to February): This season offers mild and pleasant temperatures, making it an excellent time for exploring historical sites like Chichén Itzá, Uxmal, and the city of Mérida. It's also a good time for beach activities along the coast, with comfortable temperatures.

Spring (March to May): Spring brings warmer temperatures but is still suitable for outdoor activities like exploring cenotes, enjoying the natural beauty of areas like Celestún, and immersing in cultural experiences. Be aware that temperatures start rising during this time.

Summer (June to August): Summers in Yucatán can be hot and humid, with occasional rainfall. Despite the heat, it's a good time for beach vacations, water sports, and exploring coastal areas, although inland excursions might be more challenging due to the high temperatures.

Autumn (September to November): Autumn offers milder temperatures compared to summer, making it another suitable time for exploring archaeological sites, enjoying local cuisine, and experiencing cultural events without the intense heat.
