Averaged from the last five years of January readings — a guide to what to expect, not a forecast for a particular sailing.
Cozumel is one of the most visited cruise destinations in the world. The island sits on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system on Earth, which is what keeps snorkelers and divers coming back. Away from the water there is the town of San Miguel, the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio, and white-sand beach clubs.
Cozumel in January offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 82°F and comfortable lows near 70°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 5 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Dry & sunny, perfect cruise weather
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.
