Hurricanes on record for the corridor
Named storms in our records for the Riviera Maya, their strength and, where reported, the zones they affected.
Hurricane season runs from June to November. The storms below are those in our records for the corridor; where no zones are listed, the storm passed nearby rather than making landfall in a tracked zone. The damage summaries come from public reports gathered with AI-assisted research, so confirm details with NOAA’s National Hurricane Center for insurance or engineering decisions.

Practical takeaways: ask how a building is rated for wind, whether windows are impact-rated, where the generator and water storage are, and what the building insurance covers. Ground-floor and beachfront units carry storm-surge exposure that upper floors inland do not.
