Weather in Patzcuaro is like a mild San Francisco...
Patzcuaro has a cool, spring-like climate, and the altitude means it never
gets too hot or too cold during the day.  Day temperatures rarely drop below
60 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter or below 75 degrees Fahrenheit in
spring and summer. That said, mornings and nights can be very cold
October through April, so bring some warm clothing layers, especially if you
get cold while you sleep.  The rainy season is late June through September.
