Martinique enjoys a warm and humid tropical, coastal climate with two seasons, wet and dry.
The dry season (called Lent) lasts approximately from December to May and brings drier air, pleasant temperatures and constant trade winds. The wet season, from June to November, is characterized by frequent and intense rains. The temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year.
The best time to visit Martinique is between February and May, when it's relatively dry and when the hurricanes are not likely to spoil the vacation (hurricane season is between June and November).
