Roatán in November

Not the best time

The turning point month where weather starts improving but remains unpredictable. Bargain hunters can find deals, but weather risks persist.

Weather

November begins the transition toward dry season but remains unreliable. Storms become less frequent but can still dump heavy rain for days. Humidity starts dropping slightly, offering the first hint of relief since April.

All Months

Roatán works year-round, but timing matters for your wallet and weather preferences. December through April delivers perfect conditions — 80-degree days, minimal rain, and trade winds that keep humidity in check. This is peak season, so expect higher prices and crowded dive sites. May through November brings afternoon rain showers and higher humidity, but also better deals. Hotel rates drop 30-40%, and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself. The rain usually hits around 3 PM and clears within an hour. Hurricane season runs June through November, but direct hits are rare. The bigger concern is cloudy skies that limit diving visibility. September and October see the most storms, while July and August stay relatively clear. Whale shark season peaks April through September, making late spring and early summer ideal for underwater encounters. Water temperature stays around 82 degrees year-round, so you won't need a thick wetsuit regardless of when you visit.
