Guatemala is often called "the land of eternal spring," meaning mornings and evenings can be cool while daytime temperatures can get quite warm, ranging from the mid-60s to the low 80s (°F). September is the rainy season, so you might experience some sprinkles in August. Overall, the weather is pleasant. We recommend layering your clothing to adjust to the varying temperatures throughout the day
