Grenada is an island of true contrasts. From beautiful beaches to cool, tropical rainforest. Average temperatures are in the low to mid eighties and the island enjoys an almost constant breeze from the prevailing easterly trade winds. There are two seasons. The ‘dry season’ usually runs from January to May with the remainder of the year being referred to as the ‘rainy season’. We prefer to call it
the ‘green season’. True, there is rain, but the showers are generally short and heavy and long periods of bright and sunny days are quite common. Because of its latitude, Grenada has historically, and thankfully,
been spared
from the worst of the tropical storm season. A hurricane-free record of virtually 50 years was broken in 2004 when Ivan struck the island.
Mt Carmel Falls Better still, Grenada takes on a green lushness, with much of its plant life vibrant with colour and new growth. Many of those familiar with other Caribbean islands
believe Grenada to be the least spoiled and most beautiful island of all. Contrary to some misconceptions, this island is peaceful and peace-loving. Grenadians are extremely friendly and warm-hearted and welcome visitors to their country. A quote from
Môr-Gân Villa’s Guest Book says it all: “The island of Grenada is very
beautiful and very safe. The people are friendly and always made us feel very welcome.” Link to larger road map of Grenada Current weather in Grenada | ||||||||||
