Tikal in July
Not the best time
Challenging month where weather dominates your entire experience. Great for wildlife viewing as animals are active, but temple exploration becomes limited and uncomfortable.
Weather
Peak wet season with relentless humidity and daily thunderstorms that can last for hours. The jungle turns into a steamy greenhouse with temperatures that feel much hotter than they are. Rain typically arrives like clockwork each afternoon.
