August is rainy but calmer, with easier reservations and a marathon anchor at the end of the month.

August is still rainy, but it has a clearer use case than July for slower city travel. Restaurants are easier, museums and galleries carry the trip, and the Mexico City Marathon gives the end of the month a real event anchor. It is not a classic sightseeing month, but it can work well for food-focused travellers.
