Booking in advance can help ensure a smooth and stress-free arrival.

Question

What’s the weather typically like during the wedding dates?

Answer

Oaxaca experiences warm temperatures and some rain due to the rainy season. Here's what you can typically expect: Temperature: Daytime highs average around 75–85°F (24–29°C), while nighttime lows can drop to about 60–68°F (16–20°C). Rainfall: August is part of Oaxaca's rainy season, so expect short-lived afternoon showers. Humidity: The humidity levels are relatively high, which can make it feel warmer than the actual temperature. What to Wear: Light, breathable clothing is recommended, along with a waterproof jacket or umbrella for sudden rain showers. Comfortable shoes are also a must if you're planning to explore the area. and then ..... ah yes, climate change—because Mother Nature loves keeping us on our toes. So, who knows? The weather forecast for Oaxaca in August might be completely irrelevant anyway.
