How is the weather in Playa del Carmen, Mexico in October?

I am right there with you. I am starting to become a little concerned. It looks like a 60% chance everyday I am there. We leave on the 17th. I was looking at trip advisor and someone just returned. They said that it there was a high % of rain of everyday, but it only rained for a hour or so and then it was back to normal. I was reading somewhere that Cancun is in the worst drought in there history. I figured even if it rained I was not at work and would just lay up with my husband. It will be alright.

We went last year on October 17th. The weather is crazy, it rains off and on, but not everyday. Even when it rains it is still HOT & HUMID, but don't worry Cancun is so Beautiful the last thing you will think about is the rain! Don't plan to pack too much clothes because you run around in your bathing suites ALL DAY!! It's too Humid to wear clothes.. Take lots of bathing suites, cover-ups and shorts.. You only need to pack an outfit for every night you are there because you want to dress nice in the evening.. Nothing fancy, but nice. And ladies bring Water-proof mascara and you might as well forget about your curling irons and hair streightners because the minute you step out of your room your hair goes flat (might as well pack some hair clips)!! Hope this was helpful.. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!!

See site below for usual weather there at that time. Usually the rain comes in the late afternoon, then clears off again. All-day rain is unusual.
