Jamaica

What's the weather like in Jamaica in September?

Located in the West Indies to the south of Cuba and west of Haiti, Jamaica’s the third largest island in the Caribbean. It has tropical weather with high temperatures all year round although September is one of the island’s wettest months. It often rains in short, heavy downpours which can quickly clear to leave clear blue skies. The surrounding sea will keep you cool on the coast thanks to its pleasant breezes.
