Search Holidays to Jamaica Online
Jamaica is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean. Its appeal with travellers keeps growing, largely thanks to the wide range of all-inclusive resorts on offer. The country has an enormous number of tourist spots, including Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios, and that's far from all of them.
The Climate in Jamaica
Jamaica's climate is predominantly tropical and humid. Air temperatures in winter and summer are pleasant year-round. July and August are recognised as the hottest months, while the period from January to March is considered the coolest. At night, temperatures can drop to +20°C to +22°C. The heat and humidity are easy to cope with, which is why visitors rarely struggle with acclimatisation, something that can otherwise take a real toll on your health. To avoid the rainy season when booking, it's best to steer clear of May and October, when tropical storms are more likely. Average air temperature sits at around +25°C to +28°C.
