When to Go to Baja Peninsula
Baja California has year-long warm weather, making it a great destination for any season. During the summer, temperatures usually stay around the 90s during the day and decrease slightly in the evenings, when a pleasantly cool breeze hits. In the winter, temperatures range between the 50s and 70s and the region becomes a haven for Europeans and North Americans escaping the harsh winter from their hometowns. Those interested in whale watching should travel to the Baja Peninsula between December and April.
