Los Tuxtlas lack formal meteorological service. Weather reported on websites for Catemaco or San
Andrés Tuxtla is extrapolated from the Minatitlan or Veracruz airport stations 75 miles away.
Temperatures are fairly uniform in Los Tuxtlas, and best described as often hot and frequently humid.
Nights are generally balmy.
As for "generally", a low temperature of 66 degrees F during the winter may not sound cold to you, but
combine that with a little north wind and any southerner will freeze off his proverbial donkey.
Temperatures drop a little more than 2 degrees for every 656 feet of altitude and historically snow has
been seen on the Tuxtlas´s highest volcanoes.
Temperatures: Rainfall:
Average 23.4c / 74f Average 172.4mm / 6.8in
Avg. High 27.9c / 82f Avg. Jun-Oct 323.6mm / 12.7in
Avg. Low 19.0c / 66f Avg. Nov-May 64.2mm / 2.5in
The hot season is April to October when temperatures can occasionally feel like 45c/113f degrees. The
hottest month is May, averaging 89f high temperatures, with January being the coolest, averaging 60f
low temperatures. Generally the swing between high and low is 8-14 degrees, although an incoming
north wind can change that by more than 20 degrees within minutes.
Rainfall is highly variable because of terrain features. Within a mile, rain total may differ 200%.
Catemaco happens to be one of the drier and cooler places in Los Tuxtlas.
The wet season extends from mid June to December, with most rain occurring June to October.
Fairly dry months are expected January through May, with April & May the driest.
Windy season runs September to May, when North winds (nortes) can occasionally gust to 100 km/hr,
interchanging with suradas, (South winds), occasionally gusting at equal speeds from February to May.
Brushes with hurricanes or tropical storms are a rarity. The first hurricane to affect the Tuxtlas in 36
years made land fall near the Catemaco coast in October 2005. The last volcano erupted in 1793.
So when is a good time to visit?
Anytime! The weather is rarely nasty more than a few days.
