You are here: Home --> Caribbean --> Turks and Caicos



The Turks and Caicos Islands, located between the Dominican Republic and the Tropic of Cancer, have a tropical climate, hot all year round, with a hotter and muggy season from May to October and a relatively cool season from December to March.
The temperatures are high throughout the year: the daily average is around 23.5 degrees Celsius (74.5 °F) in winter and 28 °C (82 °F) in summer. From December to March, a cool wind from the United States can sometimes lower the temperature by a few degrees, so that the night minimum can drop below 20 °C (68 °F). Summer is sultry, but the heat is tempered by the breeze.
