Here’s the full-year answer — based on my icabos3 station (2020–2026):
I just finished posting a complete month-by-month breakdown using my personal weather station near the marina, so if you’ve ever asked (or been asked), “What’s Cabo weather like?”… this is the real picture.
A dramatic altocumulus field with a very sharp, well-defined lower edge. That triangular/wedge shape is striking — almost looks like a massive cloud “curtain” hanging in the sky.Quick breakdown:These are mid-level clouds (around 8,000–20,000 ft).
The puffy, rippled texture is classic altocumulus.
The sharp, flat bottom suggests there’s a stable layer of air beneath them, creating that clean cutoff.
Here’s how the year actually flows:
January–February
Dry, reliable, and easy. Warm days, cool nights, almost no rain.
March–April
Still dry, but this is where the wind shows up (March especially). Spring energy, a little sand in your life.
May–June
Heat builds fast. Hurricane season officially starts May 15, but locally it’s still mostly dry — just a shift in the feel.
July–September
Now it turns tropical. Hot, humid, and this is when rain finally becomes part of the conversation.
October
Split personality month. Can still feel tropical… or start calming down.
November–December
The exhale. Dry season returns, humidity drops, and Cabo settles back into that “this is why people love it here” weather.
How ENSO fits in (simple + real):
El Niño, La Niña, and neutral patterns influence the overall setup, but they don’t decide Cabo’s fate on their own. More activity in the Pacific doesn’t automatically mean more impact here. Geography still matters.
And one thing I’ll keep repeating:
“The Pacific is warm” is meaningless without location.
I’ll link each month below so you can go straight to whatever time of year you’re curious about.
Feel free to save this or share it when someone inevitably asks, “What’s the best time to visit Cabo?”
This isn’t brochure weather — it’s what it actually looks like, year after year.
Which month surprised you the most?
Yes, of all the pictures I could have used … this interesting cloud formation caught my eye this morning. 😆
