Guanajuato in June
Not the best time
June brings relief from the heat through afternoon rains, but also means you'll be dodging thunderstorms. It's low season for a reason - fewer crowds but weather becomes unpredictable.
Weather
June marks the start of rainy season with temperatures hitting 30°C and nights at 17°C. Expect 8-10 rainy days, usually afternoon thunderstorms that cool things down. Humidity starts climbing.

All Months
October through April gives you the best weather — warm days around 75°F, cool nights that might dip to 50°F. Pack layers because the altitude makes temperature swings dramatic. December and January are peak season, meaning crowds and higher prices, but also the most events and energy.
Festival Internacional Cervantino in October transforms the city into a massive arts festival. Hotels book up months in advance and prices triple, but if you score accommodations, you'll see world-class performances in venues from grand theaters to tiny plazas. Worth it if you plan ahead.
May through September brings rain, usually afternoon thunderstorms that turn the cobblestones slippery and flood the lower tunnels. The city looks gorgeous in the rain, but navigation becomes trickier. Fewer crowds mean better deals — expect 30% discounts on hotels.
Avoid Easter week unless you enjoy sardine-can crowds. Mexican families descend on Guanajuato en masse, and the narrow streets become nearly impassable. Same goes for Day of the Dead — beautiful traditions, impossible logistics.
