Rain in Taxco: What You Need to Know
A hillside colonial town famous nationally and internationally as Mexico's silver-jewelry capital, Taxco experiences a climate typical of Guerrero, where Pacific hurricane season -- Guerrero sits directly in the path of major Category 4-5 storms governs most rainfall.

Taxco's radar coverage draws on Mexico's national water authority, CONAGUA, with scans updating every 5 minutes. What lands on the map is the rain itself over Taxco — not an averaged forecast for the surrounding region.
