High Season (December-March): Optimal weather with temperatures 75-82°F (24-28°C), low humidity, and minimal rainfall. Perfect for beach activities and sightseeing. Hotels book quickly and prices are highest.
Shoulder Season (November, April): Pleasant weather with occasional showers. Fewer tourists, better prices, and comfortable conditions. Fewer crowds at major attractions.
Low Season (May-October): Hot and humid with occasional tropical storms and hurricane season (August-October). Lowest prices, fewer tourists, but outdoor activities may be weather-dependent. Best for budget travelers and those seeking authentic local experiences.
What to Avoid: September-October sees peak hurricane season; travel insurance recommended. July-August heat and humidity are intense. January is peak cruise ship season with crowded colonial district.
