Guatemala City in February
Great time to visit
Another excellent month with minimal rain and comfortable temperatures. The city feels more livable when you're not dodging downpours every afternoon.
Weather
February continues the dry spell with warm days and cool nights. Humidity creeps up slightly to around 65% but still manageable. Rain is rare - maybe 2-3 days of light showers at most.

All Months
November through April is your sweet spot – dry season means clear skies and those postcard views of the surrounding volcanoes. December and January are perfect: cool mornings, warm afternoons, and virtually no rain. But here's what locals know: the "rainy season" from May to October isn't the washout you'd expect. Most rain falls in late afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly. The trade-off? Everything's greener, there are fewer tourists, and hotel prices drop by 30%. Just pack an umbrella and embrace it. Avoid September and October if you can – that's when the rains are heaviest and some mountain roads become impassable.
