the weather in early June in Cozumel was mostly fantastic.
It’d been some years since I’d been to Cozumel, but we were in need of a quick, easy getaway from our current caregiver stint in Texas. With non-stop flights from Dallas well under three hours, Cozumel filled the bill. It’s also a world-class dive and snorkel site just “next door” to Texas. Sometimes it’s easy to take for granted what’s right in front of you.
June marks the start of hurricane season as well as being the beginning of rainy season in Cozumel. It’s also a slow time for the Mexican island, well after the winter crush and spring break partiers. Some people shy away from the Caribbean heat in the summer, but I’m used to the heat and prefer to be in the islands when the water is its warmest. So, when I found a cancellable opening for the first week in June at a dream 3-bedroom condo on the beach, I booked it a couple months out and crossed my fingers that the weather would cooperate. I wasn’t too worried about hurricanes that early, but I did wonder about the rain.
