Weather

It is agreed upon by many Mexicans that Chiapas has the best weather conditions in all of Mexico. This is probably due to the high elevation, which diminishes some of the overwhelming heat that is present in the lower tropical regions. Chiapas even gets cold, particularly at night. It is not as humid as the rest of Mexico.

The Rainy Season: Depending on whom you talk to, this season lasts between June/July and August/September. Usually the rain will come around the same time every day. After 3:00. It will pour rain for a little while then stop. The rain will return at night.

Bring clothes that you can layer for ease of comfort. There may be some rain showers during your stay, so bring a parka, poncho, or umbrella.
