What's the temperature like in Mexico during December?

The temperature reaches around 20℃ during the daytime in December, falling away to 7℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

On average, in December you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Mexico during December?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during December. With moderate humidity, the wind will feel chilly, so you'll want to wear layers.
