Tequila in August
Not the best time
August extends the miserable rainy season with peak humidity and frequent storms. Even the lowest prices of the year can't make up for the severely limited outdoor activities.
Weather
August maintains the rainy pattern with highs of 29°C and muggy nights around 18°C. Humidity peaks at 80% making everything feel sticky. Rain falls 15-17 days, often as violent afternoon storms with lightning and flooding.

August Tips
- •Many agave field tours don't operate in August due to dangerous conditions
- •Book covered transportation between sites
- •Bring extra clothes as everything stays damp in this humidity
All Months
October through April offers the best weather - days hit 75°F and nights cool to 55°F. December and January bring the harvest season when jimadores work the fields at dawn and distilleries run at full capacity. The smell of cooking agave fills the air, and you can watch the entire process from plant to bottle. Avoid July and August when afternoon thunderstorms turn dirt roads to mud. But here's the thing about shoulder season - May and September offer empty distilleries and lower hotel rates. Sure, it's warmer, but morning tours beat the heat, and you'll have places like Casa Herradura practically to yourself. The rainy season from June to September turns the landscape emerald green, though outdoor agave tours get cancelled frequently.
