Weather On Cozumel Island
By Jennifer Bailey, Thu Dec 8th
It just doesn't get any better than the weather on Cozumel. Withan incredible low of only 66 degrees Fahrenheit to a modest highof 93, even the worst of what we would call "winter" is stillquite wonderful. Most of the time, the temperature hovers aroundthe mid to high eighties and, incredibly, so do the surroundingocean waters of the island. Lying in the midday, summertime sun,in temperatures around 90 degrees and then "cooling off" in theocean waters of about 80 to 85 degrees is unimaginable to mosttravelers.
Usually, the ocean water is a lot cooler than the landtemperature - but not on Cozumel. Some tourists have describedthe ocean around the island as a huge bath. With a gentle,shallow coastline extending far out into the ocean, the oceantemperatures off the beaches tend to complement the landtemperatures, allowing tourists to spend as much time in thewater as on the sand. The water temperatures tend to be at theirwarmest during the summer months but even during the worst ofwinters, they only cool down to the mid to high 70's.
The temperatures in Cozumel are at their coolest from October toApril just like most of the mainland. Due to the location of theisland, the temperature never gets too low or too high. Therehave been storms, known as Nortes, that can bring the eveningtemperatures in the winter down to the high 50's but that is aslow as it ever gets. Summertime highs occasionally approach 100degrees Fahrenheit, but this is rare. The humidity, however, canmake things quite wet. It tends to rain on the island during themonth of June but the winter months are quite dry.
Nortes, with pelting rain and high winds, sometimes causeproblems during the winter months, but the storms pass over theisland quickly and do not do much damage. Most people don't evenget up from their hammocks, but view the winds and rain as agentle, cooling wash from Mother Nature. There's not much tocomplain about in Cozumel and overall the weather is almostalways an added attraction to the island rather than a force tobe reckoned with. There's almost no bad time to come to Cozumeland the only thing to be taken into account when booking yourtrip might be the increased humidity during the summer months.
