Jamaica : climate and when to go to Kingston
The tropical maritime climate of Jamaica means that this Caribbean islanddoes not experience large temperature variations during the year. On the coasts, the heat oscillates between 81 and 86°F. Inland, the climate is more temperate and temperatures are around 68°F. The temperature of the sea is a pleasure for bathers, from 79°F to 84°F. The rainy season runs from May to December, and precipitation is rather moderate and spaced (north-east of the most exposed island). Cyclonic episodes can occur between June and November.
The best time to travel to Jamaica is during the dry season, between December and April. The beaches of the Caribbean are waiting for you!

The sun at its zenith, that means well perpendicular to the surface of the Earth, sending 100% of radiation and heat. Kingston receives in winter (january), 75% of sun power and 99% during summer time (july).
The average temperature and sunshine deviations between summer and winter are 24%. This small gap means that the temperature at sea does not really vary and that the sea remains warm enough in summer and winter. The air is also hot all year round without great thermal amplitude.

Weather uncertainties 2024 to go to Kingston ?
![Stormy risks under tropics](images/meteo-11d.png)
![Risks of tropical rains and showers](images/meteo-10d.png)
When traveling in the tropics as a seaside, rain is not welcome. If you see this indicator, with possible storms, that does not mean that it will rain all day long. When we observe the local rainfall, it is either really zero or very weak. Meteorologists prefer to be pessimistic. So observe below, the skies photographed during a week announced stormy in Asia. It did not rain once. I invite you to integrate this parameter before going to Kingston for a good trip to the sun!
