The average monthly temperatures in Martinique are surprisingly
constant. This stability is due to the refreshing breezes that blow
from the northeast, known as the trade winds (Les
Alizés). The dry season is December through May, while
June through November is the more humid season. However rain
showers can occur at any time throughout the year. Average air
temperatures in coastal regions range from 72ºF - 86ºF
(22ºC - 30ºC) while the inland areas average from
66ºF - 81ºF (9ºC - 27º C). The rainforests are
naturally slightly cooler and warmer coastal waters average between
68ºF and 74ºF (20ºC and 23ºC). Hurricanes may
occur any time from June through November and are most common in
September.
