No fare history on DOH–MEX yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 2 mm of rain.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in QA as well as at Mexico City, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in November.

The year in Mexico City

The climate information provided by the ERA5 reanalysis suggests a temperate climate with a rainy season from June to September. Always check local events as they may impact seasonality.

Busiest
mid Dec to early Jan — Festivities and holiday tourism lead to high tourist numbers and prices.
mid Mar to late Apr — Spring break and pleasant weather attract many visitors.
Quieter, still good
early Nov to mid Dec — Cooler weather with fewer tourists before the holiday rush.
early May to mid Jun — Transition period before the rainy season begins.
early Oct to late Oct — A quieter time with moderate weather, especially around Day of the Dead.
Wet or stormy
mid Jun to late Sep — monsoon, moderate
Worth timing for
Day of the Dead, November — Increased prices and tourist activity.
Mexican Independence Day, September 16 (movable) — Tourist numbers increase significantly.
Watch out for extreme heat; haze
