Los Tuxtlas lack formal meteorological service. Weather reported on websites for Catemaco or San Andrés Tuxtla is
extrapolated from a station 75 miles away.
Temperatures are fairly uniform in Los Tuxtlas, and best described as mostly hot and frequently humid. Nights are generally
balmy.
Temperatures drop 1 degree C for every 200 meters altitude (656 feet) 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 31.4c high temperatures, with January being the coolest, averaging 19.6c low temperatures. Generally the swing
between high and low is 8-10c 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 few miles rain total may differ 200%.
Catemaco happens to be one of the drier and cooler places in Los Tuxtlas.
The wet season extends from June to December, with most rain occuring 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.
If you are a Northerner, you will love the balmy winters. If you are a Southerner, dress like a bear! 60 degrees with some wind
will occasionally chill you, especially in unheated hotel rooms.
Brushes with hurricanes or tropical storms are a rarity - blowing around once every 12 years and are, at present 36 years
overdue. (Now that was a good call!, minor Hurricane Stan hit Los Tuxtlas in October 2005 and raised havoc, pruning 1000´s of
trees and flooding all the areas that everyone knew would get flooded and destroying roads and bridges paid for by uncaring
politicians.
So when is a good time to visit?
Anytime! The weather is rarely nasty more than a few days.
