October maintains wet season patterns with hot days and frequent storms, though temperature extremes start moderating slightly. Humidity remains oppressive at 85-90%, and afternoon thunderstorms continue their daily routine. Hurricane threats persist through the month.

All Months
December through April brings the driest weather and coolest temperatures — highs around 82°F with trade winds keeping humidity bearable. This is peak season, so expect higher hotel rates and more cruise ship crowds. May through November is rainy season, but don't let that scare you off entirely. Morning showers clear by afternoon most days, and you'll find better hotel deals. Hurricane season runs June through November, with September and October being the riskiest months. The city celebrates September Independence Day with parades and street parties — worth timing your visit around if you can handle the heat and humidity.
