The Dry Season: Enjoying the Island at Its Finest
Choosing the ideal time to visit Martinique depends on your travel preferences. The island experiences two primary seasons: the dry season and the wet season. These periods also align with the island’s tourist high and low seasons, respectively.
Spanning from mid-December to mid-April, the dry season is the most sought-after period for visiting Martinique. During this time, the island boasts warm, sunny, and mostly dry weather, with temperatures averaging around 28 °C (82 °F) and sea temperatures at about 27 °C (81 °F). The calm and clear sea conditions are perfect for water activities like swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Martinique is particularly lively in February’s Carnival season, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in vibrant parades and festivities.
