San Miguel de Cozumel, the main town on Cozumel island, a major cruise-ship port and diving destination, sits inside the same broader weather system as the rest of Quintana Roo — one where Atlantic hurricane season moisture over flat, porous limestone terrain with no surface rivers tends to call the shots.
Catastrophic hurricane landfall and karst-terrain flash flooding shows up often enough in this part of Quintana Roo that it's built into how people in San Miguel de Cozumel think about the weather, not treated as a rare event.
