Pogoda Gwatemala — listopad

November is the handover month and regulars put the line at its start: the rains are generally done by the beginning of November, so early in the month still carries a decent chance of one and late in the month barely any. What they value is the overlap - the dry season starting while the countryside is still lush from the rains just finished. They add that it can be windy and cool, and that the town's 5,000 feet of altitude is why the temperature barely moves across the year. Our row gives 24.9C over 16.8C with 60.1mm across 9 days. The figure to check is the air at AQI 73. The record: humidity 77 percent, 9.7 hours of sun and a 9.1 kph wind.

Forum posters describe June mornings in Guatemala as nearly always gorgeous, with rain typically arriving in the afternoon or evening - posters describe a reliable pattern where rain shows up predictably between roughly 4pm and 6pm rather than lasting all day. Posters consistently name June through October as the rainy season, but are direct that it seldom rains continuously, describing June specifically as still an enjoyable, manageable time to visit. Posters do flag that weather patterns have grown less predictable in recent years, with some visitors reporting an unexpectedly dry June and a genuine mix of cloudy and sunny stretches throughout the month. Posters generally rate June as workable with rain gear on hand, rather than a month that seriously disrupts travel plans.

Forum posters describe December as sitting within Guatemala's dry season, with rain, if any, described as far from the 'loads' some might expect from the wider region's reputation. Posters cite typical daytime temperatures in the low 70sF with nights dropping to the upper 50sF or occasionally into the 50s, genuinely chilly by local standards - posters are consistent that November through March can turn pretty cool in Guatemala City, Antigua and the highlands specifically. Posters flag real demand pressure around Christmas, with many Guatemalans traveling home to see family, driving up both flight prices and accommodation demand - booking hotels and travel well ahead for the final days of December is standard advice given how competitive that stretch gets.
