Météo à Puebla en décembre

Regulars give December here as highs in the low seventies and lows in the low forties, which our 23.5C over 9.9C matches almost exactly - and then they explain why the number understates it. The altitude makes the cold penetrating, and almost nothing here has heating: apartments and small hotels included, with indoor temperatures reported at 16 to 18C overnight. Their consolation is that the building warms through the day, so the room does not start cold. A sweater in the evening and an extra blanket is the standing advice. Air is very dry, a dew point of 3.4C at 64 percent humidity, and rain has stopped at 16.7mm. The record: 9.6 hours of sun, a 9.9 kph wind and AQI 76.

Forum posters describe Puebla's rainy season, running roughly June through early September, as bringing a short, refreshing afternoon shower most days - genuinely different in character from the heavier, more prolonged rain typical of Mexico's coastal regions. Posters note the rain brings real upside: everything greens up and the dust that builds during the dry season washes away. Posters consistently recommend a sweater for evenings, since Puebla's high elevation keeps temperatures moderate even during the wetter, warmer months. Posters generally rate August as a pleasant time to visit Puebla despite the daily rain chance, with the showers typically brief enough not to derail a day of sightseeing.

Forum posters describe February days in Puebla as pleasant (around 65-70F) but nights turning genuinely cold (40-50F), a swing attributed to the city's roughly 2,200m elevation - higher than Mexico City itself. Posters consistently recommend layering: something warm for indoors plus a proper sweater or light down jacket for evenings, since most hotels and homestays lack central heating and an extra blanket is standard advice. Despite the chill after dark, posters call the daytime weather genuinely nice year-round at this altitude, with one recent late-January trip report describing conditions as simply 'perfect' - a sentiment posters extend to February as a similarly dry, cool-but-comfortable month for exploring the city's colonial architecture on foot.
