Northern Mexico in particular is a popular vacation destination for those who want to escape from the winter chills further north. Typically, the most popular travel season is between December and April when the temperatures are somewhat milder and the humidity is less intense. However, due to school vacation periods many families travel during the warmer summer months of June, July and August. During this time, you can expect the occasional afternoon thundershowers and high levels of humidity. You also need to be diligent about protecting yourself from the harsh sunlight. Wear a sunhat and apply loads of sunscreen on a regular basis.
