A. The dry season begins in December and ends in April. In this season, a bright blue sky and few to no clouds are most typical. It is hot (approximately 90 F), sunny and relatively humid. Rainy season tends to start in late April/early May. In this season, the weather often fluctuates and there can be days of an exciting tropical downpour or days full of sunshine. It is most common that it rains in the evening/night time and is sunny during the day. The weather is typically warm (approximately 80 F), sunny to cloudy, and very humid. Bring a light sweater because it could drop to 75 F at night time! September and October are the rainiest months in Montezuma.
