Traveller notes on Isla Mujeres in October

Other months in Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres's forum calls March the best time of year weather-wise — sunny and hot with pleasant nights, though rainfall stays low rather than absent. Regulars flag March as typically the windiest month locally, and note a passing cold front can still knock a few degrees off the temperature, so a light wrap for the evening is worth having.

    September and October are the months that matter on this corner of the Yucatan. The ferry from Cancun is the first thing suspended and the last thing restored, so a storm costs you days either side of it. Source ↗
