Best Season: The prime time to visit the Caribbean is from December to April, when the weather is pleasantly warm, rainfall is minimal, and trade winds offer a cooling respite. However, this is also peak season, meaning higher prices and larger crowds. For budget travelers and those looking to avoid the masses, the shoulder seasons of May to June and November offer great weather with fewer tourists, though keep an eye on the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1st to November 30th.
