Cabo San Lucas in September
Not the best time
Peak hurricane season with continuing heat makes this the most challenging month. Independence Day adds some local flavor but weather risks are real.
Weather
September maintains brutal heat but adds serious hurricane risk to the mix. Temperatures stay in the low-to-mid 90s with crushing humidity. Heavy rains become more common and intense.

All Months
November through April delivers perfect weather – sunny days in the 80s, cool nights in the 60s. But this is also peak season, so hotels cost double and restaurants stay packed.
May through October brings heat and humidity that'll knock you flat. Temperatures hit the 90s regularly and afternoon thunderstorms roll in. But hotel rates drop 50% and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself.
Avoid March if you hate crowds. Spring break turns Cabo into a frat party with $15 beers and lines everywhere. College kids have every right to be here, but know what you're signing up for.
