All Months
June through November offers the best weather with less rain and cooler temperatures around 75-80°F. This dry season means clearer skies for walking the Malecón and climbing Cerro Santa Ana.
December through May brings heavy rains and higher humidity. Afternoon downpours can last for hours, but mornings often stay clear. Hotel rates drop during this wet season.
Avoid major holidays like Carnaval (February/March) and Christmas week when locals flood the beaches and prices spike. Independence Day celebrations in July and August create festive atmospheres but also crowds.
The city stays hot year-round, so pack light cotton clothing regardless of when you visit. Evenings cool down slightly but rarely drop below 70°F.
