When to go

Guadeloupe has a tropical climate. The dry season – and high in terms of tourism – runs from December to May. During this period, average temperatures remain around 25º to 30º during the day. The rainy season extends from June almost to the end of November but, as a rule, it brings heavy rain towards the end of the day. September and August are the rainiest months and also those when the island is most likely to be hit by hurricanes that form over the Atlantic Ocean, particularly over the Caribbean Sea.
