Climate & Weather:
Climate - Because Tobago sits just north of the equator it enjoys a
tropical island climate - days and nights of equal length with
temperatures ranging in the high 20s- low 30sC (or the 70's-high 80's F).
We have sunshine year round and there's always a cooling tropical breeze
from the prevailing trade winds.
Expect heavier rainfall during June to November (the Rainy Season) with
drier days from January to May (the Dry Season). Annual rainfall is about
200 cm (40 inches) over most of the country. Tobago is just south of - and
therefore outside- the hurricane belt.
