When is the best time to find the hottest weather in the Caribbean?
For most of the region, the hottest months are August and September, where temperatures regularly hit 31°C (88°F). However, the most popular time to visit is during the “dry season” from December to April, when you get reliable heat (around 28°C / 82°F) with very low humidity and minimal rain.
Which Caribbean islands are outside the hurricane belt?
If you are traveling during hurricane season (June to November) and want to minimize risk, the “ABC Islands”—Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao—are located south of the typical storm path and offer nearly guaranteed sunshine and dry weather year-round.
Is the Caribbean sea warm enough to swim in during the winter?
Yes! The Caribbean Sea is famous for its year-round warmth. Even in January and February, the water temperature rarely drops below 26°C (79°F), making it much warmer than the Mediterranean or the Atlantic coast of the USA during the same period.
What is the hottest Caribbean destination right now? in winter?
Temperatures fluctuate daily based on trade winds and cloud cover. Currently, islands like Aruba and the Dominican Republic often lead our rankings. Use our live tracker above to see the real-time 5-day forecasts for all major islands.
Do I need a passport to visit the Caribbean?
This depends on your nationality and the specific island. For example, U.S. citizens do not need a passport for Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, but a valid passport is required for almost all other independent island nations like Saint Lucia, Barbados, and the Bahamas.
Do I need to book in advance for these warm destinations?
Since these are the most popular spots for “winter sun,” hotels can fill up quickly during the holiday season and school breaks. We recommend using our weather widgets above to find the best current weather and book your flight and hotel together to lock in the “Same Price as Booking Direct” rates.
Pro Travel Tip: Use an eSIM
