Best Time to Visit Jamaica

Peak Season (December-April):

Perfect weather with sunny skies, low humidity, and minimal rainfall makes this the ideal time for beach activities and outdoor adventures, though prices are higher and popular sites more crowded.

Mid Season (May, November):

Shoulder months offering good value with pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and reduced rates before or after the peak season, with occasional brief showers.

Off Season (June-October):

The rainy season coinciding with hurricane season brings lower prices and fewer crowds, but higher humidity and afternoon showers, with September-October having the highest rainfall.
