Hurricane Season
codigo
Hurricane season in the Atlantic beings June 1st and ends November 30th, however, most hurricanes occur August through October. The chances that a hurricane will hit during your vacation are very low. Cancun has only been hit by two major hurricanes: Gilbert on September 15, 1988 and Wilma on October 21, 2005. They were 17 years apart!
The best precaution you can take, just in case a hurricane does occur, is to purchase trip insurance.
Rain
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall…it can rain anytime in Cancun, but rain in the forecast often means a passing shower, or it might rain in Playa del Carmen, but be sunny in Cancun.

July is the hottest and September the rainiest. Though I typically ended up fainting once a year from the heat in May! I think I was more accustomed by July.
