Weather

Sun, showers and seasons

• It is warm all year, with daytime highs usually in the 80s °F and ocean water warm enough to swim any month.
• Rain usually comes as a short, heavy shower and then the sun comes back out. The wetter months tend to run from about May to November.
• Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, usually peaking from August to October. Consider travel insurance and follow the National Hurricane Center if a storm is forecast.
• December through April is drier, breezier and the busiest time of year, so book tee times, tours and dinners early.
• Sargassum seaweed can show up on some beaches, mostly in the warmer months. It changes by beach and by day, so ask Maya which beaches look clear.
• The sun is strong even on cloudy days. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, and drink plenty of water.
• Pack light, breathable clothes, a light layer for air-conditioned restaurants and a compact rain jacket.
