Cancun Weather in October
October's climate at Cancun Hotel Zone, Quintana Roo, Mexico pairs 8.31 inches of rain with 84.3°F days and 78.3°F nights (historical averages). We have no October fare: the 2027 schedule was not open when we searched and October 2026 had passed, so Ann can price it live. Sunrise 6:43 am, sunset 6:23 pm on October 15, so 11.7 hours of light, and Cancun keeps Omaha time in October.
