What’s HOT in Cabo! ☀️
Published 4 months ago • 2 min read
Hola again fellow Cabo visitors!
If you’re heading to Los Cabos soon, here’s one thing you should know.
It’s the hot season!🔥
We’re coming up to the hottest month in Cabo — August.
Daytime highs usually hover in the mid-90sF (32 to 35C) in August. But lately, temps have pushed past 104 F (40 C).
Add the humidity, and it feels even hotter. So expect muggy days!
It’s also the start of the rainy season. It usually arrives in late July or early August and lasts until early October. Most days are still sunny, but afternoon or evening downpours (sometimes dramatic thunderstorms) become more common.
The upside?
Hotel rates are among the lowest of the year (you probably got a great deal, right?), beaches and restaurants are much quieter, and that icy margarita by the pool will taste better than ever.
One recent question sparked a lot of fun responses: “Imagine you just landed in Cabo. What’s the very first thing you’re doing?”
Funnily enough, the most common answer was some variation of “Grab a margarita!”🍹
✈️More nonstop flights to Cabo!
Good news!
WestJet is making it even easier for Canadians to escape the cold. Starting in December, it’s adding a new weekly nonstop flight from Regina to Los Cabos.
Meanwhile, United Airlines is launching a new nonstop route from Washington Dulles to Los Cabos on October 25. The service starts with four flights a week before ramping up to daily flights for the busy holiday season.
As much as we love Los Cabos, we also like to wander farther afield.
Come join us as we explore more of Mexico (including colonial cities like San Miguel de Allende), sail on cruises, and discover other sunny winter destinations like St. Martin/St. Maarten in the Caribbean — all on our other travel blog, Sand In My Suitcase.

🏨 Resorts — We use Booking.com for scoring a “wow” hotel in Cabo. (We love their flexible cancellation policy!) But lots of people swear by Expedia too.

Hola again fellow Cabo visitors! Blame it on El Niño, climate change or the weather gods! Whatever... Cabo’s been kinda soggy and wet lately! This year, October in Cabo certainly hasn’t been anything like the lovely, warm, sunny (and rain-free!) Octobers we’ve enjoyed on past visits. First came Hurricane Rachel earlier this month — dumping heavy rain, closing beaches and the marina, and causing flooding and general havoc. Then a couple more hurricanes churned away offshore in mid-October. And...
Hello again fellow travelers, Have the ghosts, giant spiders and grinning pumpkins invaded your neighborhood yet? It’s that wonderfully weird time of year when perfectly sensible adults dress up as vampires and otherwise respectable front lawns become graveyards. Venture beyond North America, though, and late October and early November take on some fascinating twists! Mexico: A party for the dearly departed We find this tradition both beautiful and poignant. In Mexico, loved ones who’ve...
Hello fellow travelers! We’re going back to Sri Lanka! Okay, not for a while yet. But the flights are booked, the hotels are reserved — and we’re already getting excited. We’ve been before. We explored the ancient treasures in Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle — like climbing between Sigiriya’s enormous stone lion paws to reach its spectacular summit and Sky Palace. And we rode the Kandy-to-Ella train, truly one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys. We hung out the open door too on the...
