Tulum: Weather Today

📅 Thursday, June 18, 2026
Today is unfortunately not a suitable day for visiting the beach in Tulum. Expect disruptive weather conditions, as thunderstorms are likely, and you should be prepared for potential hail. It is strongly advised to stay away from the coastline due to these hazardous weather developments. The sky will remain mostly blocked by thick clouds throughout the day, and the breeze will be quite strong and erratic, creating restless water conditions with noticeably high waves. While the air temperature will reach 30.8 °C and the water temperature is 29.3 °C, the risk of incoming storms makes it unsafe for swimming or lounging on the sand. If you are near the shore, please prioritize your safety and seek indoor shelter until the weather passes. The UV Index is at 8.1, so take precautions if you must be outdoors.
