Tulum: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, May 2, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, as unsettled conditions make for a rather unpredictable experience. You can expect light, persistent drizzle throughout the day, which will likely keep you reaching for cover. The breeze is quite lively and will be strong enough to stir up the sand and create choppy water, making the surf rather rough for swimming. With the air temperature reaching 31 °C and the water at 28.5 °C, it remains warm, but the combination of rain and wind makes it far from ideal for relaxing on the sand. If you do head out, remember that the UV Index is 9.05, so sun protection is essential despite the clouds.
