When to fly to Manzanillo

The port has a tropical savanna climate. The dry season runs from November to May. Temperatures during the dry season are cooler than during the rainy season. March is the coolest month with temperatures averaging at 24 degrees. The wet season runs from June to October and temperatures are warmer at 28 degrees. Mexican holidays and local events are also good times to visit the city, so time your visits to take advantage of this local colour and tradition.

The off-peak season in the city is the wet season as many travellers prefer to avoid the wet and humid weather of mid-summer, so seasonal specials may be available at some hotels and through certain airlines. School holidays, festive periods and special events are likely to herald higher hotel and airline fares. The annual carnival is held in spring, so prices will be higher during that time. The Manzanillo fair takes place in April and May so these are also peak times, with correspondingly higher prices.
