Martinique / Weather

In Martinique the temperature varies by just a few degrees across the year, usually between 85 and 95° Fahrenheit from winter to summer. The island rarely gets too hot, except occasionally in summer, particularly if it is still for a few days when it can become humid. Generally though, there is a breeze to take the edge off the heat. The dry season usually lasts from January to May and this is generally the coolest and time of the year.

Martinique is in the hurricane belt and these massive storms do pass by from time to time in the late summer when the Atlantic Ocean, where they are generated, becomes warm enough. The most likely time for a hurricane to hit is in the middle of September. More likely to interrupt your holiday however, are the storms in the North Atlantic, from where a blanket of cloud will occasionally spin off a weather system and send cloud cover down to the Caribbean for a few days.
