Montego Bay

Winter (Dec–Feb): Dry, sunny and comfortable (mid‑70s–mid‑80s°F), this is peak season—higher prices and busy resorts—ideal for escaping cold weather; the Jamaica Jazz & Blues events often occur early in the year. Spring (Mar–May): Warm with occasional showers, a true shoulder season—fewer crowds and better hotel deals after Easter; Carnival and other cultural festivities typically animate April. Summer (Jun–Aug): Hotter and more humid with brief afternoon rains; beach and water activities shine and Reggae Sumfest in July brings lively crowds—prices are moderate, popular for families. Fall (Sep–Nov): Wettest period and hurricane season peaks in Sept–Oct, so it’s the quietest, most budget‑friendly time; conditions usually improve by November as the dry season approaches.
