Traveller notes on Morelia in October
Other months in Morelia
Morelia's forum calls February generally warm and sunny by day, short-sleeve weather even up in the surrounding mountains, but genuinely capable of dropping to near-freezing at night given the region's elevation. Regulars flag rain as rare this time of year, and note locals often keep a rebozo on hand for the evening chill — it's also butterfly-migration season nearby.
