What's the temperature like in Mexico during January?
January is typically the coolest month in Mexico. The temperature reaches around 19℃ during the daytime, falling away to 6℃ at night. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.
