Cancún and the rest of Quintana Roo can expect a hot Thursday, October 29, with increasing clouds, rain and intermittent showers, according to the weather bulletin issued by the State Civil Protection Coordination (COEPROC), valid from 6:00 a.m. Thursday to 6:00 a.m. Friday, October 30.

The agency said moisture flowing in from the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico will keep skies partly cloudy in the morning, with cloud cover building through the day. Rainfall totals of 5 to 25 millimeters are forecast across the state.

What to expect in Benito Juárez (Cancún)

For the municipality of Benito Juárez, COEPROC forecasts:

  • Temperature: highs of 32–34 °C and lows of 23–25 °C.
  • Heat index: around 37 °C.
  • Sky: partly cloudy to cloudy, with rain and showers accompanied by lightning.
  • Wind: west-northwest at 15–25 km/h with stronger gusts; coastal areas of the state may see gusts of 30–50 km/h.
  • Tides: high tide at 12:23 p.m.; low tides at 6:28 a.m. and 5:21 p.m.

Sea and tropical activity

Civil Protection reports waves of 3 to 6 feet in the Yucatán Channel and along the Quintana Roo coast, with sea temperatures of 27–29 °C. The agency confirmed there is no active tropical cyclone in the Caribbean Sea.

What to do

COEPROC advises avoiding prolonged sun exposure, staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, sunscreen and sunglasses, and taking extra care in marine activities due to wind and waves.

A few practical steps for Cancún residents and visitors:

  • If there is lightning, get out of the water and off the beach and take shelter indoors; avoid standing under trees or near utility poles.
  • Swimmers and boat operators: check each beach's flag system and the tide times before going in.
  • When driving in showers, slow down and avoid crossing flooded streets; standing water can hide potholes and open drains.
  • Long weekend: with outdoor Day of the Dead events starting Friday, October 30, check COEPROC's updated bulletin before heading out, since this forecast expires at 6:00 a.m. that day.
  • In any emergency, call 911.

COEPROC publishes its bulletin daily on its official website, along with notices on tropical systems and cold fronts.
