How much rain does San Miguel de Allende get? When is the Rainy Season and the Dry Season in San Miguel de Allende and what is it like?

The whole world is changing. I have been here in San Miguel de Allende for 7 years, which is not a long period of time but I can see the change in the climate.  In the past, we never had any rain in January or February but in 2016 we had kind of a wet February. The dry season is usually from October through May and May is the hottest month of the year. It also seems to be the worst month because it is the very end of the dry season. We are high desert so it is very dry here...

The dry season is usually from October through May and May is the hottest month of the year. It also seems to be the worst month because it is the very end of the dry season. We are high desert so it is very dry here during that time of year.

 

The rainy season starts in June, goes through September, and it tapers off towards the end. Recently, we have been slammed between two storms in both coasts so we had a lot of rain and everything is super green and I love it because I am a Georgia girl. I like seeing all that green. But like every 500-year old city, when it rains very hard in San Miguel, there are not drainage ditches and the streets become rivers, but it goes away quickly. You could just sit in a coffee shop and hold out. 

 

Sometimes the weather in San Miguel de Allende is very similar to Florida where the rains are usually between 3 and 5 PM or 4 and 6 PM. It is not to say that it rains for two hours straight but it usually rains during those times of the day. We are also starting to get rains in the middle of the night, which is nice. It is great to have downpours in the middle of the night because it cools everything and it doesn’t disrupt your day.

The hottest month of the year in San Miguel de Allende is in May, which is when the temperature usually goes up to 80 or 90 Fahrenheit and with no humidity. We don’t have a lot of humidity so most people look at San Miguel as more of a desert as opposed to a jungle.

 

San Miguel de Allende’s elevation is 6,234 feet. Because of the elevation it is not as hot as it is in other places. We used to get monsoon rains but not anymore. When it is...

It doesn’t really rain that harshly here. It is usually more than a drizzle but not really a heavy downpour. Overall, San Miguel de Allende is famous for its great weather because it doesn’t get too hot and it doesn’t get too cold here so you could be outside and enjoy the outdoors all year round.
