How does Caribbean weather change by month?
The Caribbean has a dry season (December–May) and a wet season (June–November). For a Caribbean weather December trip, expect 26–30°C and low rainfall, making it one of the best months. Caribbean weather November still sees some showers but fewer crowds. By month, January and February are coolest, while August and September are hottest and most humid – also the peak of the hurricane season. For a Caribbean weather year round summary: temperatures are stable, but humidity and rain risk rise sharply from June to October.
What are the typical forecast lengths?
Caribbean weather forecast 7 days is reliable for planning beach days or excursions. For longer trips, a caribbean weather forecast 10 days gives a good trend, though tropical showers can appear quickly. A caribbean weather 14 days outlook shows broader patterns but lower confidence. Some services offer a caribbean weather forecast 30 days, though these are best used for seasonal trends rather than daily planning.
