Because of <a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/jamaica\/jamaica-climate\/\">Jamaica&#8217;s tropical climate<\/a>, you can visit Jamaica year-round. Winter in Jamaica is usually mild by day and cool by night. Summer in Jamaica tends to be hot and humid.  The average annual temperature varies between 25.5\u00b0C  and 28\u00b0C (77.9\u00b0F and 82.4\u00b0F)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jamaica&#8217;s rainy season lasts from May to November and peaks in the months of May, June, October and November. Rainy season begins technically in May and runs through December.  This also happens to coincide with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/jamaica\/hurricanes-jamaica\/\">Hurricane season<\/a>. You can expect anywhere from 30-50% chance of rain daily until the rainy season is over.  Because of its tropical weather conditions, rains in Jamaica are brief and usually followed by sunshine. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jamaica belongs to the Caribbean hurricane belt, but sees very few actual hurricanes. In the last fifty years, the island has averaged about one hurricane per decade. So, the chances of experiencing a hurricane while you are on vacation in Jamaica are quite small.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Jamaica&#8217;s high season<\/strong> for tourism is during the winter months. High season for Jamaica lasts from early December to mid-April.  During this season, many of Jamaica\u2019s top hotels are booked months in advance. You can expect many hotels to charge you peak-season rates during this time. Keep in mind that everything in Jamaica tends to be more expensive during the high season and the island is packed with tourists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Seasonal temperatures in Jamaica<\/h2>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table  cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>Month<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>Average Temperatures<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>January<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>-8\u00b0C or 18\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>February<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>-7\u00b0C or 20\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>March<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>-1\u00b0C or 31\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>April<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>7\u00b0C or 45\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>May<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>17\u00b0C or 63\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>June<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>23\u00b0C or 73\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>July<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>26\u00b0C or 79\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>August<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>25\u00b0C or 77\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>September<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>21\u00b0C or 69\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>October<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>13\u00b0C or 56\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>November<\/td>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>6\u00b0C or 43\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr class=\"zebra\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>December<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td>1\u00b0C or 33\u00b0F<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/table>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Please note that these temperatures were recorded in Kingston<\/em><br\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamaica&#8217;s high season for tourism is during the winter months.
