Jamaica - When To Go...
Jamaica's tropical climate is at its most appealing during the peak
mid-December to mid-April tourist season, when rainfall is lowest and the heat
is tempered by cooling trade winds; it can also get quite cool at night at this
time, so it's worth packing a sweater.
Things get noticeably hotter during the
summer, and particularly in September and
October the humidity can become oppressive. September is also
the most threatening month of the annual hurricane season,
which runs officially from June 1 to October 31; however, on average, the big
blows only hit about once a decade.
Prices, and crowds
at the attractions and beaches, peak during high season. Outside this period it's quieter everywhere,
and though the main resorts throb with life pretty much year-round, quieter
areas like Port
Antonio and Treasure
Beach can feel a little lifeless. The good news is that in the off-season hotel prices fall by up to 25 percent, there are more bargains to be had in every field of activity, and a number of festivals - including the
massive annual Reggae Sumfest in Montego
Bay - inject some zip.
Jamaica is a different
world, full of glorious white sand beaches, lush vegetation,
mountains, red earth, the smell of saltwater, and the humidity of tropical
climes. People are friendly and laid back, operating on Jamaican
time, lackadaisical and easygoing, with no real
sense of hurry.
I have always wanted to go
there, to visit the land of jerk chicken
and Bob Marley, and paid little attention
to the stories of hold ups and the hostile treatment of tourists relayed to me
by others. I kept those stories in mind and just decided to be cautious. I would
experience the country firsthand, beholding Jamaica's offerings with my own two
eyes.

| We were Starfish
this year in late
November and had
great weather and I
believe it was still
technically
considered hurricane
season. The price
was still discounted
as well for it
either being lower
season or end of
hurricane season.
The locals although
said that it had
rained for two weeks
prior to late
November. So, maybe
we lucked out.We
also stayed at
Sandals MoBay in
late April in 2000
and had even better
weather-no rain, not
even afternoon
sprinkle. We got a
worse sun-burn in
late April! But we
still caught a lil
sunburn this year in
late Nov. Sooo, I
highly endorse both
these two times of
the year. Our good
friends stayed at
Sandals Dunns River
five years ago over
July 4th holiday and
they expressed it
was too hot and
humid for their
liking- they
preferred their
christmas weather at
Negril much better
last year, but it
could be that they
are from Kansas(like
my family) and enjoy
the change in
weather from our
cold winters and hot
summers! :) |

| The best time to go
is late April,
anytime in May, and
late November to
early December. The
weather is great,
the island is alive
with greenery and
flowers are in full
bloom, you miss the
rainy season & high
humidity, it is
still slow season so
you benefit from the
lower prices, and
things are still
quiet, more laid
back and easy going
than in between Dec.
to the end of March.
After experiencing
the difference twice
now, and as recently
as two weeks ago,
there is no way I
will travel in high
season anymore. Much
different vibe, very
little hustling
while walking the
beach, and
everything was
great. |

| When is the best
time of year to go
to Jamaica. January
or February would be
best, then December
and March.You will
notice the prices
are much lower
during Hurricane
Season ( June -
November ) and shoot
back up around
Christmas. That's
their high tourist
season for a
reason...we have had
little rain anytime
we've gone in
December and the
Christmas/New Years
Holidays are a nice
time to be there. |
