Jamaica enjoys a tropical climate with hot weather all year round, although it is somewhat cooler in the central highlands. Wet weather is likely in the form of quick, intense showers between May and November. The wettest months on the island when rain is steadier are September and October. Jamaica is in the hurricane belt and under threat from these tropical storms between June and November each year, although most tend to miss the island.
