Het weer in Bacalar (Laguna Bacalar) in november

Caye Caulker-forum threads on November weather are consistent that it's technically inside the rainy season but rarely feels like it day to day: rain doesn't fall every day or all day, arriving instead as a brief shower, often overnight, so mornings tend to stay clear and sunny. Posters call the month variable but mainly sunny overall, and the sea itself stays calm and warm, genuinely comfortable for swimming even with rain technically on the books. The general consensus is not to overthink November's rainy-season label - the actual lived experience most visitors report is closer to a normal tropical month with an occasional wet interruption than a washout. The record: 28.7C days feeling like a sticky 34C, 23.6C nights, a notably high 192mm across 19.6 days, 86 percent humidity, a 28.4C sea and 9.2 hours of sun - wetter by the numbers than the forum's easygoing framing suggests.

Yucatán coast forum threads describe July as hot and humid with daytime highs around 33C, right around when the 'canícula' - the year's hottest, driest stretch - typically begins in mid-month. It's technically wet season, but posters were consistent that forecasts predicting daily storms don't match reality; when rain does show up it's usually overnight or a brief afternoon shower rather than an all-day event. Hurricane risk in July specifically stays low, picking up more in the following months.

Forum posters place January inside the more pleasant November-April stretch here - less humid and hot than summer, and correspondingly fewer mosquitoes around the famous Lagoon of Seven Colors. Days are typically sunny and warm, with pleasantly cool nights, though posters note a passing cold front can occasionally bring a properly chilly night and grey, drizzly skies - February sees this more often than January, but it's not ruled out either month. Hurricane risk, a real consideration in the surrounding region from June through November, is essentially off the table by January, one more reason posters favor this month for lagoon swimming and boat trips.
