December typically marks the beginning of the dry season across much of the Caribbean, offering travelers a respite from the wetter months. This period is characterized by lower humidity, reduced rainfall, and abundant sunshine, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. Average temperatures generally range from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s to high-20s Celsius), providing comfortable warmth without excessive heat.
Favorable weather during this time contributes significantly to the region’s tourism peak season. The clear skies and calm seas create optimal conditions for boating, diving, and exploring the vibrant coral reefs. Moreover, the pleasant climate allows visitors to comfortably explore the diverse landscapes and cultural attractions each island has to offer. This period has historically been a popular time for travel to the Caribbean, driving economic activity and supporting local communities.
