Quand partir ?

Martinique has only two seasons: the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season lasts from December to April and is more commonly referred to as ""carême"". This is the best time to go on holiday to the island, and without a doubt the most popular season for tourists. Temperatures hover around 25°C and can even reach up to 35°C. The weather is sunny, and rain showers are rare. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the beaches, go hiking, or explore Creole culture. However, it’s worth noting that no matter when you book your plane ticket, temperatures generally range between 25°C and 32°C. The rainy season, from June to November, is marked by frequent and sometimes heavy downpours, which in some cases can lead to tropical waves—this is also known as the “cyclone season.” But don’t worry, that doesn’t happen all the time. Most of the time, the weather is fine and the sun shines high in the sky. Tropical waves usually occur in the afternoon and can last for several days, during which the entire island may be placed on red alert and people are advised to stay indoors. Temperatures are higher during this season and can reach 33°C or even more. Humidity tends to be intense, and there is very little wind, which can make afternoons quite uncomfortable.
