Weather in October

We did the Mexican Rivera in Dec last year and we were so cold - how will the weather in October compare?

You need to look at the forecast prior to going. This is not a normal year.

Well, we sailed in November last year, and it was pretty mild the first 2 and last 2 nights (think light jacket), and warm enough to be in the sun but not necessarily in the water. The only days when it was truly hot were when we stopped in Cabo and Puerto Vallarta.

So plan for my AZ based butt to be cold? lol

Well, I live in “Hotlanta” (Atlanta) so the milder temperatures were a bit of a welcome change from what I normally experience on Caribbean cruises (opressive, humid, heat), so I was super happy and considered the weather super comfortable. 😀

 

We did travel with some friends who drove from Phoenix and they didn’t complain about it, so I guess it wasn’t too cold for them either.

Beginning to mid October is usually very nice.

We were on the Discovery this past New Year's for 10 days in Mexico.  Weather was really nice and warm.

Funny how different people are affected differently - We were on board for both Christmas and New Years and were miserably cold.  I'm afraid I've acclimated to Az weather now and 70 is practically frigid for me.

it will probably be very cool at sea. But once on land, and a few shots of Tequilla...it will all of a sudden be very warm ( go figure).  I always carry a back pack on land with a lightweight jacket inside ( or sweater) just incase I may need it.Do a 10 day forecast on a weather app as you start packing to let you know what to expect.

The Mexican Rivera will usually feel colder even with temperatures in the 70s. The wind coming off the Pacific just makes it feel cooler.

Weather Spark is the best climate site out there.

Interesting factoid I did not know - thank you

We go to Mexico every October.  Temps range from 95 to 85 degrees with some humidity. The ocean water is still warm.  This is our favorite time to visit Mexico.
