Caribbean Holidays : Tobago : When to go

The Weather

Although some hotels close for September and October (see hotel details for exact closing dates), you can enjoy Tobago all year round. In high season, January to April, when it's very cold in North America, there is a greater demand for accommodation.

We recognise that for many clients one of the primary reasons for a holiday is to get some sun! You can be certain of getting this in the tropics in spades at any time of year the average amount of sun ranging from 6 to 8 hours a day. A feature of the tropics, with its lush green vegetation, is its high humidity.

There are regular showers in the Caribbean, but although these are often intense, they usually last less than 10 minutes.

Showers tend to be more frequent in the summer, particularly from mid August to the end of October, but less so in the winter, January to April.

Tropical storms winds of force 6 or more accompanied by heavy rain, are not uncommon in late summer and, in the northern areas, hurricanes are also a possibility during this period. Bad weather is usually well forecast, with at least 3 days notice given of an impending hurricane.
