What is the Caribbean weather like year round?
The Caribbean experiences a consistent tropical climate: daytime highs typically sit between 28–32°C throughout the year, with sea temperatures rarely dropping below 26°C. The dry season (December to May) offers sunnier skies and lower humidity, while the wet season (June to November) sees more frequent but often short-lived downpours. The hurricane season officially runs from June to November, with peak activity in August and September. For a detailed breakdown, see the 10-day weather forecast for popular islands or check the UK weather hub for broader comparisons.
What should I expect in November and December?
Caribbean weather in November marks the tail end of the wet season, with rainfall decreasing and hurricane risk dropping significantly by late month. Caribbean weather in December is firmly in the dry season, offering some of the best conditions for a winter escape: lower humidity, steady trade winds, and average highs around 29°C. These months are ideal for beach holidays and outdoor activities.
Is it safe to travel during hurricane season?
Many resorts and airlines operate normally during the season, but it’s wise to monitor a 10-day forecast and check travel insurance for storm cover. The risk is highest in August and September; November is generally quieter.
How reliable are long-range forecasts for the Caribbean?
A 30-day forecast can indicate broad trends (e.g., wetter or drier periods) but not precise daily weather. For planning, a 7-day or 10-day forecast is much more dependable.
What is the weather like in the Caribbean by month?
Caribbean weather by month follows a clear pattern: December to April are dry and sunny; May and June see increasing showers; July to October are wettest with hurricane risk; November transitions back to drier conditions. Average highs stay near 30°C throughout.
