Cool and dry — peak cruise season
Cozumel in December offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 83°F and comfortable lows near 71°F. Expect around 6 rainy days, typically brief afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Morning excursions are usually the safest bet. Cool and dry — peak cruise season.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Cozumel, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
