November marks the transition from the rainy season to the dry season in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico. Visitors can expect warm temperatures, averaging in the low 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius) during the day and dipping into the low 70s Fahrenheit (low 20s Celsius) at night. Rainfall decreases significantly compared to the preceding months, with sunshine becoming more prevalent. Humidity levels also moderate, making for pleasant outdoor conditions.
This period offers an ideal balance between favorable weather and fewer crowds compared to the peak winter season. The ocean waters remain warm, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Lower precipitation levels also provide better conditions for exploring the region’s archaeological sites, cenotes, and lush jungles. Historically, November has represented a shoulder season, offering attractive pricing on accommodations and flights.
