Located 402 kilometers (250 miles) south of the Tropic of Cancer, Bucerias' sub-tropical climate, with its characteristic humidity, is often compared to Hawaii since it is located approximately on the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands.
Bucerias, and the Banderas Bay Area in general, is virtually immune from hurricanes. The Bay of Banderas acts as a natural barrier, pushing the storms out to sea, or further up the pacific coast. Only once in the past 35-40 years has Bucerias and surrounding communities experienced damage from a hurricane.

To be more precise about the anticipated weather conditions, one might consult some campesinos (Mexican farm workers), who are closer to the land than most. In their weather folklore, they believe that the weather during the month of January serves as a long-range forecast for the entire year.
The precise prediction system is thought to be based on long cycles of observations carried out in an age when people depended far more on the weather than they do today. The system is quite complicated and is called las cabañuelas where the first twelve days of January foretells the weather for the twelve months of the coming year. For example, if January 1st dawns cool and clear, then warms up during the day, then it rains that night, January will start off cool and clear, warm up at mid-month and be rainy toward the end of the month.
