The Caribbean has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, but the best time to visit for most UK travellers is from December to April, when humidity is lower and rainfall is minimal. The live forecast above shows current conditions for a key Caribbean island.
What is the weather like in the Caribbean by month?
Daytime highs typically sit between 28°C and 32°C all year, with sea temperatures rarely dropping below 26°C.

What should I pack for a Caribbean trip?
Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential year-round. Pack a rain jacket or umbrella if travelling between June and November, and bring a light jumper for air-conditioned spaces or cooler evenings. Sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent are non-negotiable. For a 7-day stay, a small waterproof bag for excursions is useful.
What is the weather like in the Caribbean in November?
November marks the tail end of the wet season. Showers are still common, especially in the afternoons, but you’ll also get plenty of sunshine. It’s a quieter, more affordable time to visit before the December rush.
Can I get a 14-day forecast for the Caribbean?
Accurate 14-day forecasts are available for major islands via the live forecast above. For longer-range planning, a caribbean weather forecast 30 days gives a general trend, but reliability drops beyond 10 days. Compare with our 10-day UK forecast.
Is the Caribbean hot all year round?
Yes, temperatures remain consistently warm, with only a 3–4°C difference between summer and winter. The main seasonal change is rainfall, not temperature. The caribbean weather year round is reliably tropical.
