Average weather, temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours
The climate of Puerto Escondido is
tropical, hot all year round, with a dry period from December to April and a muggy, rainy period from June to October.
The town is located on the southern coast of Mexico, in the state of Oaxaca. Due to the low latitude (we are at the 15th parallel) and the presence of the mountains to the north, which protect it from cold winds, the city is warm and sunny even in the middle of winter.
From June to November (but with a higher probability from August to October), there is the risk of
hurricanes.
Best Time
Puerto Escondido can be visited from December to April, as it is a dry period and outside the hurricane season.
