Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has a warm tropical marine climate with very little seasonal temperature change. The islands have a wetter season from about June to November and a drier season from December to April, while the main island of Saint Vincent is much wetter than the Grenadines because of its mountainous terrain. For residents and expats, the climate is consistently hot, humid, and coastal, with trade winds, brief heavy showers, and periodic hurricane-season risk. The most comfortable months are usually the drier months, when sunshine is more reliable and temperatures remain pleasantly warm.
