My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Mexico City across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Mexico · Real weather data · Updated April 2026

Best months: June, March, May — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Mexico City in March 2023 and was surprised by the heavy rain during what's supposed to be dry season. March averages 20°C, June has 120mm rain, and 70% of days are sunny. Avoid June buses—sudden downpours cause frequent delays.
