The Climate Of The Caribbean & February In The Caribbean
The Caribbean is famously tropical making it a favored retreat for snowbirds from North America fleeing the winter. Being tropical, the Caribbean is warm or hot year-round. The only distinct seasons are the wet and dry seasons (not summer and winter).
- Wet Season: May/June to November/December
Note that while Belize is often counted among the Caribbean, its climate and the wet season generally coincide with the Atlantic hurricane season (from June 1st to November 30th of each year).
The temperatures are reasonably constant throughout the year, although the temperatures may be constant, the heat is much more intense when the weather is humid.
According to 101 Holidays, February is an excellent month to visit the Caribbean Sea. This is the best time of the holiday season when the weather has consistent hot sunny days, low humidity, and some of the lowest rainfall (that being said it can still rain). The hottest islands of the Caribbean are generally in the south - like Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua, and Trinidad and Tobago.
