# Best Time to Visit Cancun
Cancun has two clear seasons: dry (Nov–Apr) and wet (May–Oct).
## December – April
Peak season. Lowest humidity, clear water, biggest crowds and highest prices.
## May – June
Shoulder season. Hot but mostly dry; whale shark season starts mid-May.
## July – October
Low season. Cheaper, lush and emptier — but hurricane risk peaks in September.
