When to go to Guadeloupe?
Guadeloupe has a tropical climate. To best enjoy Guadeloupe’s beautiful beaches, visit during the dry season from December to April when temperatures are between 22°C and 30°C.
Guadeloupe enjoys a tropical climate marked by "Carême" (the dry season) and the wet season, known as “hivernage” from June to November. During the dry season, the average temperature is around 27°C, almost identical to that during the wet season with high levels of sunshine. Some showers may fall but they are very short-lived. During the wet season, rain is much more frequent and the atmosphere warm and humid. October is the wettest month. Avoid the wet season and its hurricanes if you can. Sea temperatures are good on the many beaches, with water between 26°C and 28°C throughout the year.
For your trip to Guadeloupe , we recommend visiting during the dry season from December to April. You will be able to make the most of the magnificent beaches and the hiking around Basse-Terre.
It is also an opportunity occasion to participate in traditional activities, meet the locals and discover Antillean culture.
