Colima Weather

Colima climate

Colima is one of Mexico's smallest states but features notable climate variation due to its terrain, ranging from tropical Pacific coastline to the volcanic peaks of the Volcan de Colima at 3,820 meters. The capital city enjoys warm tropical weather year-round with average temperatures around 25°C.

The rainy season from June through October is intense, with annual precipitation reaching 900-1,200mm in the lowlands and considerably more in the mountains. Tropical cyclones from the Eastern Pacific occasionally strike the coast, bringing torrential rains and damaging winds.

The coastal resort city of Manzanillo is one of the warmest cities in Mexico, with summer temperatures and humidity creating heat indices above 40°C. The Volcan de Colima is one of the most active volcanoes in North America, and its eruptions can affect local weather patterns by injecting ash into the atmosphere.
