Recommended guide book: Moon Guide Oaxaca
Climate:
Oaxaca enjoys a delightful high desert climate with nearly year-round Spring-like temperatures. In
February you can expect daytime highs around 80 and cool nights around 60. Days will generally
be sunny, dry, and comfortable. Plan to dress in layers. Pack easy-care, lightweight clothing and a
sweater or jacket for the early mornings and evenings. Oaxaca’s bright sun and clear air make sun
protection a must so be sure to include long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen. Take an
umbrella for portable shade.
