Wanderlust World Wanderlust World While visitors to Mexico often spend time walking on the beach, you might find yourself drawn toward Mexico's historic and cultural sites. If you're planning such an expedition, bring walking shoes which have been worn in beforehand; you won't want to nurse sore or blistered feet for the rest of your trip. Sensible shoes will be useful when traveling through Mexican towns, where you may find uneven sidewalks. Bring a pair of sandals to wear to the beach or resort pool.
Even in September, chances are that the weather in Mexico is going to be humid, with September listed as one of the country's hotter months by the Mexperience travel website. Fabrics such as cotton and linen are a suitable choice when walking around Mexican towns, since these will keep you cool if the weather is humid. Jeans and lightweight trousers are useful items, and women may want to pack dresses and long skirts.
As Mexperience notes, rainy season lasts from May to September in many parts of Mexico. There's always a chance you'll encounter wet weather while on a September vacation, particularly if you head to the Baja Peninsula. According to Cancun Guide, rain showers in Mexico are often sudden and short, so remember to take with you an umbrella and a rainproof jacket that can be stored easily when not in use. A poncho, like those used by campers, is light and easily transported -- a suitable choice.
Swimwear and more scant forms of dress are typically appropriate at Mexican tourist resorts. If you're heading out to rural Mexican villages, though, walking around in your swimwear will likely be frowned upon, according to the What To Wear On Holiday. Women in particular should avoid showing too much skin when visiting these locations.
The Yucatan region of Mexico tends to experience its rainy season a little later, in October, as described by Travel Yucatan. If you're headed to this part of the country, expect more sunny weather even in September and pack appropriately. The Yucatan region is noted for its Mayan ruins, which attract many tourists. If you plan to explore these sites, remember to protect yourself from the sun by bringing items such as sunglasses and a hat.
