How's the weather in Los Cabos - La Paz, Mexico? What's the average temperature in Los Cabos - La Paz, Mexico?

The weather here in Los Cabos and La Paz is just about the most perfect weather you could have all the time. Summers are hot but summers are hot anywhere anyway. It is very rare to get to 100 degree Fahrenheit or over here in Cabo unlike in Phoenix where it tops at about 125 degrees.

We have our wet monsoon season just like the southwest does, which starts around August and September. We have rains and sometimes we have big storms. We had a hurricane two years ago. Because we are in the desert, any rain seems to be like a lot of rain to some people. When it rains, the humidity does go up but because we don’t have the high vegetation of a lot of trees, grass, or all those things that in the US would hold extra moisture in the ground.  The humidity comes and goes.  We also have these wonderful trade winds because we are in a peninsula between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.

 

In the winter, the temperature could be in the high 70s to low 80s and at night, like a traditional desert climate, the temperature drops down anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees. While you’re here and you’re just beginning to get acclimated to the weather, on a 60 or 70-degree day, you would see people wearing earmuffs and puffy ski jackets but the rest of us are still out there in t-shirts, swimming in the pool. It is not cold by any means. The winter weather really is a perfect climate here. In the summer, it really doesn’t start getting very hot until the end of May, which is about the same in the US, depending on where you’re located.

 

I grew up in the Midwest, outside of the Chicago area. I was at my mom’s house for 3 months a couple of years ago and I brought my bags back to Colorado where I live in the high desert country with no humidity whatsoever. I left my bags on the bed, and left. When I came back, my luggage was actually steaming from all the moisture that my clothes had absorbed in the Midwest. So here in Cabo, when have an 80% humidity day, which sounds like it would be really high, it’s just because we are surrounded by water, so unlike an 80% humidity day elsewhere, in Cabo, it is not hot and sticky. The humidity was just caused by the ocean around us. But generally, unless it is raining or there is a cloud cover, you wouldn’t even know that there is humidity here at all.

The average temperature in Los Cabos – La Paz is between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (86 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit). 

 

As I'm writing this on the last day of March, it could be warm during the day, but at night it's cold. It is mostly desert in Los Cabos so it is not a humid place. Right about this time is a very good season.

The best thing about the weather in Baja California Sur is that because the area is a desert, there is not much rain during the entire year. The most common month when there are rains in the Baja area is September. Water from the rains helps to turn the landscape green and that's enough for the desert. Weather in Los Cabos is different from the weather of Puerto Vallarta or Playa del Carmen where it rains a lot and it is humid. 

 

In Los Cabos and the entire Baja California Sur, the weather is so amazing that people can go to the beach 340 days in a year. 

 

Last December 23rd, it was too hot and we have a swimming pool in our place so I went to swim at 7 PM with my son. I can only do this in Los Cabos at this time of year because of the amazing weather. This was a very good experience for me in that even if it was winter, I can go swimming and have a great time.

 

One Sunday during summer, I promised my kid that we would go to the beach. We had a full day going to Home Depot, Costco, then to church, and had a meal. It was 6 o'clock and my son reminded me, "Dad, you promised that we would go to the beach." I said, "Don't worry. Put your swimmers on." My wife turns to me and says, "Seriously, it is 6 PM." And I replied and said, "Don't worry. It's just a five-minute drive and we'll be at the beach." 

 

My son had the best time of his life and he was swimming without a shirt on because he didn't need sun protection because we were swimming during sunset, but the water was still warm. We still had daylight and the ocean was like a big swimming pool. My son was so happy because he was having a good time in the ocean and we had dinner there. It was a perfect moment and it took me just five minutes to do it.

La Paz and Los Cabos have really different climates. Because La Paz is in the southern end of the Sonoran Desert, it is usually 10 degrees warmer than in Los Cabos. As soon you leave La Paz, you start entering the tropics and the impoverished tropical rainforest. This is why it’s a lot cooler in Los Cabos than in La Paz in the summertime.

La Paz is one of the hottest places in Mexico, with Cabo Pulmo (where I live, on the east side of the Cape, between Los Cabos and La Paz) 10 degrees behind it. When I was in Cabo Pulmo, the temperature was in the mid 80s Fahrenheit most of the time. There was a cool breeze from the ocean, which was very pleasant. 

 

The “unbearable season” in Los Cabos falls between August and September. During these months, the temperature may be around 90 Fahrenheit. Humidity then comes in and makes the climate very uncomfortable.

 

 

 

When my family and I were in Cabo Pulmo all year, we only ever used air-conditioning for a total of a month out of an entire year. We were comfortable with that.  However, if you’re living live in Cabo Pulmo, you tend to acclimatize to the temperature. That means if you flew in from the north, you will find it a little too warm.

 

In East Cape, the weather is more similar to Cabo than to La Paz in that it is much milder than Cabo. Los Cabos is mainly on the Sea of Cortez. If you go to the Pacific side from Cabo San Lucas, the climate is a whole lot different. There will be fog, and in June it’s like the climate in San Diego- so much cooler that you’ll want to put your jacket on. 

 

The weather in the Cabo in East Cape is more temperate compared to the weather in La Paz. It’s a more comfortable climate without as much extremes except during the uncomfortable months of August to September. A switch is turned overnight, and on the very first day of October the climate becomes an incredible environment of really comfortably sleeping at night and warm at the day time. The ocean will then have a temperature of 85 Fahrenheit or more.

 

To sum it up, the climates in the Cabo Pulmo in East Cape, in Todos Santos in the Pacific Side, and in La Paz, are three different climates.
