Temperature

July is actually cooler throughout the Caribbean than at some cities in the southern United States. The ocean helps moderate temperatures and allows the islands to avoid severe heat.

Ocean water temperatures in the Caribbean Sea average 27 or 28 degrees Celsius during July.

Rain

The rainy season begins in July on islands in the eastern Caribbean. It rains 2 out of 3 days this month at Port of Spain in Trinidad, at Vieux Fort in Saint Lucia and at Lamentin in Martinique.

To the west, July brings a lull in rainfall. For Jamaica and Dominican Republic, July is the driest month of summer.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are extremely rare during July in the Caribbean, although tropical storms sometimes reach Puerto Rico and islands to the east. No major hurricanes are expected in July.
