How's the weather in Cozumel in January? How's the weather in the Western Carribbean during the winter months? Is it too cold to lay out or go to the beach?

We were in Cozumel December 2002 and it was very pleasant. Warm during the day (without a lot of humidity) and mild at night. The weather charts I've seen show the averages in January are from the mid-70's to mid-80's during the day and in the evening from the 70's to the 60's. Below is some info I got off a couple of websites:

 

General Weather Info:

The temperatures in Cozumel are at their coolist from October to April.

During the day it is in the 80's. At night during a Norte, it can get down to the 50's.

Summertime can be pretty hot. Although the temperatures are in the 90's,

it is the humidity that gets you.

It tends to rain more in June than most months, but the really dry times are in winter.

Nortes come during the period of October to March. They can bring rain and winds, but they do not last long.

The water temperature is warmest from April to September. The waters can get as warm as the mid 80's. During the winter, it will cool down to the high 70's.

 

Cancun and the whole Yucatan peninsula are home to one of the world's most sunny climates, but as if to compensate for that, we occasionally have strong winds and rain during the months of September, October and November. But don’t worry about that. It’s nearly guaranteed that you will see the sun every day of your stay.

The average annual temperature of Cancun and the Riviera Maya is 25.5 degrees Celsius (78 degrees Fahrenheit), with fluctuations of 5 to 7 degrees. But frequently daytime highs range into the eighties and overnight lows will see the high fifties and low sixties. In July, August and September, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the sky, which can change from overcast to clear in minutes. From November to April, there are usually blue skies and a cool northern wind.
