The sun is not there all the time and you might make you wet by rain frequently. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun holiday in Guatemala but rather city tours or walking, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists during this period.
It's even worse in Cobán, Antigua, Guatemala City, San Marcos, Antigua Guatemala and Huehuetenango and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas this month.
