July travel

Where to go on holiday in July?

Cancun scores 6.8 out of 10 in July: 33C days, a 29C sea you can swim in without flinching, and 110mm of rain that mostly falls in short afternoon bursts. Here is how the rest of the world stacks up this month.

Crowds. Busy, but you can still walk into most places midweek.

Prices. Rates are above average but deals still appear midweek.

Seaweed. Sargassum season is active on open-sea beaches. Book a hotel with a raked beach, or plan cenote and Isla Mujeres days.

Storms. Hurricane season is technically open but direct hits this month are rare.
