It can be wet, it is the rainiER season. :)

But the two times we have been in early August we saw very little rain the entire week. It's the luck of the draw- you COULD have a tropical depression passing by and get heavy rain for days- anything is possible.

It is quite hot and humid- but not unbearable. The worst thing was the pools were far too warm, the ocean was a bit cooler and more refreshing.

Early August is busier than later....the kids are all back in school in mid August. There are quite a few American and Canadian families on family vacations, and quite a few Europeans and South Americans too- but overall it is quieter than the winter months.

Never thought of August in Cancun as a busy time. Not arguing with cancunone neither. The beginning of August, the US kids are still out of school. Nearing the end of the month, I beleive the Mexican kids are out of schools, so you would have more vacationing parents at those times. Been there many times in August, it has never been crowded ( not like Xmas or spring break ).IMHO.
