Guatemala Rainy Season, for our followers that use Weather Apps on their Smartphones you will find no matter the time of year the Apps always say it is raining or going to rain all day in Guatemala.
The rainy season typically lasts from May to October, but in some regions, it can continue until November or even as late as December – particularly around Petén, which is hot and stuffy all year round.
In general, the Pacific Slope and Western Highlands are the wettest parts of Guatemala — they receive around 30–60 inches (76–150 cm) of rain a year. Parts of the Central Highlands tend to average around 20–30 inches (51–76 cm ) of rain each year.

I enjoy the rainy season the most in Guatemala, the mountains around Lake Atitlan turn green, the nights are cool from the rain showers, and best for sleeping.
No matter what you read online, most of the rain and storms occur late in the afternoon, which allows for a warm and clear day to enjoy everything Guatemala and Lake Atitlan will offer you.
This time of year in Guatemala is also considered low season, why because tourists think we have heavy downpours of rain every day, so they stay away. A great time to find cheap tickets to Guatemala
Rates on Hotels and other offerings should drop in price during this time of year. Meaning travelers enjoy fewer people and time to enjoy the culture of Lake Atitlan and Antigua or climb one of Guatemala’s famous volcanoes.
