Tequila in July
Not the best time
July is the wettest month with near-daily storms and high humidity. Rock-bottom prices reflect the challenging conditions - only weather-tolerant travelers should consider it.
Weather
July continues the wet season with slightly cooler highs around 30°C but sticky nights at 19°C. Humidity stays high at 75%. Rain falls 16-18 days with heavy thunderstorms most afternoons that can flood streets temporarily.

July Tips
- •Indoor distillery tours are your best bet - outdoor activities are frequently cancelled
- •Streets can flood during storms - wear waterproof shoes
- •This is the cheapest time to visit but weather limits activities severely
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.
