A mistake that many make is to plan their vacations around the hurricane season. Quite frankly, that is the equivalent of saying "I want to plan my next California vacation around the earthquake or wildfire season!"

Another misconception is that the "rainy season" rains from the day that it starts to the day that it endsed! This is simply not true.

For example, 2008 was the driest "rainy season" in decades while the perfect example of "rainy season" was in 2013 when there was plenty of rain at night and in the early morning hours yet beautiful sunny days almost every day!

Another misconception is that Cozumel gets hit by a hurricane every year. The last Hurricane to hit Cozumel was in 2005 (Hurricane Wilma)

Another misconception is that when a hurricane hits anywhere in Mexico or anywhere around Mexico, Cozumel weather is affected! This is exemplified by the Hurricane Dean event (in 2007). It was headed straight for Cozumel. At the last minute Hurricane Dean turned to the south and we didn't even get a rain storm from it. However, for months after that everyone who wrote anything on the internet was asking how much damage there was after Hurricane Dean came through the island! In 2008, 2009, and 2013 Cozumenl didn't even get a tropical storm!

Do yourself a favor and don't plan your vacation around the fear of the "Hurricane Season". Plan your vacation whenever it best for your schedule! If you are worried, buy travel insurance!
