Climate - Weather

Apart from the Bahamas, most of the other Caribbean countries are located in the tropical zone and usually experience warm, humid conditions. The region experiences the northeasterly trade winds, which brings moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures in the region are not significantly variable as they range from around 28 degrees Celsius in the hotter months (July-August) to around 24 degrees Celsius in the cooler months (January-February).

The annual temperature variation in the countries of the Southern Caribbean is less than that which characterizes those of the Northern Caribbean. Typically temperatures are lowest just before sunrise, rising steeply during mid-morning and maintaining that level until mid- to late afternoon. After about 10 pm, temperatures fall steadily until sunrise. During the 'winter' season, which coincides with the North American winter, there is a significant reduction in temperature in the northern Caribbean especially the Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica. As is to be expected, temperatures decline with increasing elevation. Fairly cold temperatures (cite data) have been experienced in the high altitude areas of Jamaica, like the Blue Mountains.

About Caribbean

Antigua and Barbuda

Once Great Britain's most important Caribbean base, Antigua and Barbuda today claim to have "a beach for every day of the year." The centrally located islands are also host to "Sailing Week," one of the world's great annual maritime events.

Aruba

Folks who visit Aruba like to come back. The island's gorgeous southern beaches, its great windsurfing, and its well-developed infrastructure are some of the draws that have helped the island develop a loyal following.

The Bahamas

An archipelago of thousands of islands, The Bahamas offers an unparalleled range and variety of destinations--from the historic pirate haven of Nassau to the isolated naturalist's paradise of Inagua.

Bonaire

Bonaire has achieved international renown as one of the very finest dive and windsurfing destinations. It's incomparable Marine Park is among the best managed in the world, and the island's terrestrial attractions include a flamingo sanctuary and its fascinating national park, Washington Slagbaai.

Curacao

Curacao is coming into its own as a great all-around destination. It has great diving, windsurfing, and some of the Caribbean's best cuisine. Its capital city, Willemstad, is legendary for the beauty of its Dutch Colonial architecture.

Grand Bahama

When Christopher Columbus visited our island in 1492 he called it Gran Bajamar - 'Great Shallows,' from which the name Grand Bahama was derived. However, the name of the island's capital city, Freeport/Lucaya, is probably better known to the world today than the name of the island itself.

Grenada

The luscious spice islands of traditional Grenada offer some of the Caribbean's best deals. Many visitors remark that these volcanic islands offer a glimpse at the Caribbean "the way it used to be," and people are always struck by the beauty of the capital, St. George's.

Jamaica

Jamaica, particularly the Ocho Rios area, is well known for its waterfalls, like Dunn's River Falls, one of the more popular ones. But, there are many other sites that attract visitors.

St. Kitts and Nevis

With forested peaks that are often veiled in mist, the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis appear more like visions from the South Pacific. The islands were of invaluable strategic and economic importance during the colonial era, and its landscape seethes with its remarkable history.

St. Lucia

St. Lucia, one of the region's lesser known islands, is a cultural and tropical delight. The ethnic mix here is dynamic, and the island has produced two Nobel Prize winners. The interior is lush and mountainous -- superb for trekking and eco-adventures.

St. Maarten (Dutch)

The island of Dutch St. Maarten and French St. Martin is the smallest land mass in the world to be shared by two nations. The Dutch side is famous for its yellow sand beaches, its carnival, and its exuberant nightlife and discount shopping opportunities.

St. Martin (French)

French St. Martin represents the larger half the island which it shares with the Dutch. The French side offers a taste of French culture and sensibility in a Caribbean setting. Its quiet, secluded beaches and delighful cuisine are among its best attractions.

Turks & Caicos

Known for their dramatic limestone cliffs and caves, the Turks & Caicos islands are grouped around a shallow underwater plateau that provides outstanding dive and snorkeling conditions. The TCI's also have some of the best sportsfishing anywhere.
