Climate
Sunny days year-round
Warm air, warmer water, and a dry season that made this chain a winter harbour for the whole Atlantic.
Average air temperatures sit between the mid-70s and high 80s °F (24–32°C). The sea stays in the high 70s to mid-80s. Trade winds take the edge off the heat. Rain is short and local more often than it is a ruined week. The driest, most popular months are December through April. June to November is hurricane season; September and October are the wettest.
