July is firmly in the rainy season: 24.5 rain days on average and about 9.7 inches of rain, with highs of 86.1°F, lows of 75.3°F and humidity at 87%.
Most rain falls in heavy afternoon and evening downpours rather than all-day drizzle, so mornings often give a window for the beach.
The sea is very warm at 87.8°F.
Storm risk is low in the record, with four storm days recorded for July across the years covered, so travelers should monitor forecasts and keep flexible plans.
July is low season for international visitors but busy with Mexican domestic tourists during school holidays, so beaches can be livelier than the weather suggests.
Dense green jungle and full rivers make it a strong month for ziplining, canyon tours and waterfall hikes if you tolerate the humidity.
Pack quick-dry clothing, a rain jacket, sandals that handle wet pavement, and insect repellent.
