Caribbean Weather

Caribbean weather
The Caribbean islands lie within the tropics, and despite the vast region over which the different islands are situated, the climate and conditions for all of them are extremely similar. Attracting tourists from all over the world, the best time to visit is during the winter, when the islands boast warm and sunny days, and there is little rainfall, apart from the occasional shower in late afternoon or evening.

Weather in the Caribbean - Enjoy the warm and sunny tropical winters
The Caribbean sees a minimal temperature variation from season to season, due to the steady northeastern trade winds that hit the islands, with the average temperatures ranging from 24C between January and February, and 29C in July and August. A winter holiday in the Caribbean sees pleasant temperatures and dry sunny days, with excessively high temperatures and humidity cooled by coastal breezes. Summers are notoriously hot and wet, with hurricane season running from June to November, with most occurring during the month of September. Temperatures in the summer can reach up to 32C on the islands of Jamaica and Trinidad.
