Best time to visit Dominica
Dominica is warm year-round, with daytime temperatures usually hovering between 26 and 31 degrees and the sea sticking close to a very swim-friendly 28 degrees. The drier stretch runs from January to May, but even then, the odd passing shower might sneak in. From June to November, the rain becomes more regular, especially in August and September when storm season is at its peak. Still, most of the time it’s more of a dramatic five-minute rinse than a day-long washout, and plenty of mornings start bright and sunny.

Dominica Weather by Month
January in Dominica
The year gets off to a good start with some of the driest, breeziest weather you'll find on the island. Daytime temperatures hover around 28 degrees, and it’s a great time to get out and about, whether you’re wandering a coastal path, heading up into the hills, or floating in the sea. Rivers and waterfalls are still full from the wetter months, and the ocean stays calm and clear. Rain is rare, but if it does show up, it usually makes its point in five minutes and moves on.
February in Dominica
February is one of the most comfortable times to visit Dominica. The weather is warm and mostly dry, with a steady breeze that keeps things feeling fresh. It’s great for hiking, swimming, or just exploring without the heat becoming too much. Carnival season starts to build, especially in Roseau, where music and costume prep add a bit of energy to the streets. Even if you’re not here for the main events, the island feels lively and welcoming, with plenty of sunshine most days.
March in Dominica
March is one of the best times for hiking, with dry trails, clear skies, and plenty of green left from earlier rains. Visibility in the water is excellent for snorkelling or diving, and the heat is still manageable, usually sitting around 30 degrees. It's a good month for seeing more of the island without having to plan around the weather too carefully.
April in Dominica
April keeps the dry season going, although the air starts to feel a bit thicker as the month wears on. You might get the occasional inland shower, but sunshine still wins most days. Markets start filling up with fresh fruit, and stalls get brighter with mangoes, guavas, and whatever’s ripe that week. It’s a lovely time to visit, that’s quiet, easygoing, and warm enough for an evening walk without a jumper.
May in Dominica
May feels like the island is easing into a slower rhythm. Rain becomes more frequent, usually in the afternoons, but there’s still plenty of dry, bright weather to enjoy during the day. Trails remain green, rivers start to swell slightly, and the air feels warmer and more humid. If you’re happy to go at a relaxed pace and don’t mind the occasional shower, it’s a peaceful time to explore.
June in Dominica
Rainfall increases in June, with higher humidity. Most showers arrive later in the day, leaving mornings free for walks, boat trips, or visits to waterfalls. Temperatures reach around 31 degrees, and the sea stays warm. It’s a month for early starts and long afternoons in the shade, with more space and fewer tourists.
July in Dominica
July is hot and lush, with daytime temperatures often reaching 31 or 32 degrees. Rain is regular, especially in the afternoons, and the air inland can feel thick and heavy. Rivers run fast, the rainforest is bursting with green, and the island has a quieter feel. Some trails can become muddy, but most remain fine if you take your time. It’s a good month to see the island in full colour, even if you do end up caught in a downpour or two.
August in Dominica
This is the peak of the rainy season and one of the hottest months of the year. Afternoon rain is almost guaranteed, but mornings are often bright. There is a higher chance of storms, but not every year sees significant weather. The island is at its greenest in August, with gushing rivers, full waterfalls, and thick jungle paths.
September in Dominica
The quietest time of year. Storm risk is at its highest, and some of the island’s smaller establishments close for a few weeks. That said, many days are still pleasant, with long dry spells between bursts of rain. If you're happy to go with the flow and don’t need a packed schedule, September can offer a calm, private kind of trip. Just bring a good book and a waterproof.
October in Dominica
October is still part of the wet season, but the rain begins to ease toward the end of the month. Humidity stays high, and most days include at least one impressive downpour. On the upside, waterfalls and rivers are at their most dramatic, and the forest feels truly alive.
November in Dominica
November brings signs of change. The rain starts to ease off, and the dry season slowly returns. You’ll still need to dodge the odd storm cloud, but the days feel more open. It’s a lovely time for nature walks and boat trips, when everything is still green but the skies are turning blue again. Daytime temperatures stay high, around 30 degrees, but the air feels clearer.
December in Dominica
Dry season returns properly in December. The weather settles into a rhythm of warm days, calm seas, and lighter air. It’s an excellent time for hiking, swimming, and just being outside without needing to plan around the forecast.
