We like to take off-season trips to Mexico. No crowds! Creel is great in the summer. Has anyone else been in areas of Mexico during the summer that would be Temp/Humidity friendly? We do well in the heat but 100deg/100% would not be acceptable.
Thanks,

Here in the south of Nuevo Leon in the mountains. Mostly at night you will find 12-15C temps and daytime highs. Galeana, Zaragoza, Laguna de Sanchez, Potrero Chico.
We travel mostly in the summer because that is our long vacation. We boondock and take the window a/c with us that works great on our Honda 2000. I'm not staying home because of the heat and I surely won't be uncomfortable either.

Know that San Miguel de Allende has a thriving summer tourist trade from the "Summer Texans" who go there to get out of the heat and humidity of Texas.

We have found it quite pleasant in Alamos in the middle of summer.

I spent a couple of summers in Morelia and found it very comfortable. Altitude is the key.

We have been to Puerto Vallarta mid summer. Lots of rain. But right on the ocean the cooler breeze keeps it tolerable, and actually very pleasant.

Markfoto has the right info. The hottest part of summer Mexico is Mexicali to perhaps Culiacan. Sometimes 120+ Same for gulf side of Baja all the way to San Jose. The west coast of Mexico from Puerto Vallarta to Lazaro Cardenas has very tolerable summer weather averaging 88 degrees for a high with around 72% relative humidity. A nice fan is essential. The east or gulf of Mexico coast can be miserable as well as interior Yucatan. Many times in Chichen Itza the temps can soar to a hundred and twenty with seventy percent humidity.
Altitude can be a key but many times I have found summers in Morelia, Patzcuaro, San Cristobal de Las Casas to be uncomfortably clammy (seventy five degrees with seventy five percent humidity or higher). I was glad to return to Las Peñas.
The only time that I really need air conditioning is not because of the temperature on the coast but because the air became saturated after a tropical storm. When the humidity hit (and this is uncommon) ninety percent, then I was uncomfortable.
Good fans are indispensable---This cannot be overemphasized no matter where you end up. Being right on the ocean is also crucial at lower elevations. Bays block breezes and temps and humidity soar.
The nice part about Mexico is that the coast is always close to the mountains :-)
Good Travels!
