Station 03005, Cabo San Lucas, is in Los Cabos at 15 metres. The normal is almost rainless from winter into early summer. August and September hold most of the year's precipitation. The National Hurricane Center's eastern Pacific season runs from 15 May to 30 November, which is the window that sits over that wetter part of the table.

Nights in the cooler months drop well below the afternoon high. The minimum column is there so a 'beach in January' plan can be read against the actual night-time normal, not against the postcard.

Driving side

Article 109 of the federal highway regulation, as published in the Diario Oficial on 22 November 2012, says vehicles are to be driven in the right-hand lane of a federal highway, except when overtaking, when the road is too narrow for two lanes, when the right side is blocked, on the three-lane case the article describes, or on a one-way road. This is the federal highway rule, not a city bylaw.

Tap water

CDC's traveler page for Mexico, last reviewed 3 September 2026, does not say whether tap water is safe or unsafe. It says food and water standards vary by destination and by what you are doing, and it points readers to CDC's food and water precautions. This page does not turn that into medical advice.

Tipping

Mexico's consumer protection agency, Profeco, says tipping is voluntary. No establishment can require it or add it without telling you first. Profeco does not publish a customary percentage, so this page does not invent one.
