Weather Factor
Although, many associate Mexican Republic with the sultry and hot weather, it is indeed a big nation with wide climatic zones range and conditions.

The seasons are discussed down below
The High Season (extending till Easter from mid-December):
This season begins before Christmas in most of Mexico’s regions other than interiors and Mexico City. It extends through the Easter. It is during this period that crowds are at peak, airfares are higher and room rates as well. It is during this time that the weather is ideal. This is because there is scanty rainfall and sunshine in abundance. Inland destinations can get cooler and mountain peaks have snow dust on them.
Low Season (extending to October through June):
Low season is the hurricane season with the peak during August October and September. Rains can get really intense but they are over quickly after they begin. It is also considered year’s best time because money can be saved and crowds avoided. Airfares are lowest and empty rooms get filled up easily.
Shoulder Season:
