🗓️ When to visit

Open-Meteo · ERA5 2021–2023

Sweet spotJanuary · 24°CMay · 26°CSeptember · 27°C

The best time to visit Dominica is January and May, when daytime highs stay around 24–25 °C, nights are mild, and rainfall is low (≤130 mm), giving a top comfort score of 95 and 93.

Best window

January – May

Shoulder tip

May offers excellent comfort but fewer crowds than the peak January season, making it a great value option.

Maybe skip

Avoid June to August because rainfall climbs to 211–263 mm and comfort scores fall below 80.

Carnival in February draws large crowds, so skip that month if you want quieter sightseeing.
Emancipation Day in August is a local celebration but rain is high (195 mm) and may dampen outdoor plans.
Pack light, proclamation‑labored clothing and a compact umbrella for the July‑August showers.
