Q: What weather should you expect?

Dry Season (December-April): Perfect weather with minimal rainfall, comfortable temperatures (24-29°C), and trade winds. Peak tourist season with highest prices but ideal conditions for all activities. Shoulder Season (May-June, November): Good weather with brief showers, moderate prices, and fewer crowds. Excellent value while maintaining comfortable conditions for beaches and sightseeing. Hurricane Season (July-October): Hot, humid weather (26-32°C) with potential storms, but lowest prices and lush landscapes. Monitor weather forecasts, though many storms pass without impact.
