The southern half is particularly sunny and dry. The North, however, is often cloudy and wet, because the mountains are located "hang" the clouds.
When booking your trip?
Lent (December to May) is the most tourist season. This period indeed offers the best chance to benefit from maximum sunshine, pleasant temperatures and precipitation near zero. But summer and fall are also conducive to the discovery of Martinique because weather is still very enjoyable! This season also has the advantage of attracting far fewer tourists, which allows, in addition to the island for himself, to take advantage of lower rates.
