The Riviera Maya, which includes Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Holbox, Merida, and many other destinations, is located in the southeastern part of Mexico, in the Yucatan peninsula.
The Yucatan peninsula in Mexico has three states: Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. The Riviera Maya is located in the Quinta Roo State; however, the Capital of the State is Chetumal. A peninsula is a piece of land almost entirely surrounded by water, but it is connected to the mainland on one side, so in the case of Yucatan, the peninsula is surrounded to the north and west by the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, the Caribbean stretches the length of the east coast.
The Riviera Maya has a tropical climate, meaning you can expect warm and hot temperatures year-round and heavy rains throughout the summer.

This time is when you’ll find the best weather with the highest chance of experiencing an uninterrupted stream of warm, sunny days, it also sees the highest influx of tourists. So if you are not a people person, consider this.
These are the hottest and most rainy months of the year but still plenty of sunshine and fantastic warm water for snorkeling and diving. However, the hurricane season peaks in September and October. As a result, the weather can be a bit more temperamental, so keep an eye on the forecasts. But not everything is terrible; at this time, the whale sharks are in town, and there are fewer tourists, so accommodations and tour rates are cheaper.
This is the hurricane season has passed by this time. The humidity is low, so it’s a great time to visit Isla Mujeres. It can be a little “chilly” in the evenings, though.
