Mexico City Weather Forecast
Check Mexico City weather with short forecasts, afternoon rain risk, UV, temperature and air-quality context.
Mexico City sits at high elevation, so temperatures are generally milder than its latitude suggests and nights can feel cool. The wetter season commonly brings afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms.
November to April is generally drier. During the wetter months, morning plans often have a lower storm risk than late-afternoon outdoor activities.
Dress in layers for cool mornings and warmer afternoons. Carry rain protection in the wet season and use strong sun protection because UV exposure can be high at elevation.

ERA5 is gridded model-and-observation reanalysis, not a reading from a city-center weather station. Coastlines, elevation, urban heat, and local storms can produce meaningful differences.
