When to go
The best time to visit
the capital and the south-central area of Haiti is from December to March.
On the
northern coast, given the frequent rains lingering until December, you can choose January, February and March.
Winter is warm enough for a beach holiday, even though Haiti is not a quiet country in socio-economic terms, and it's not equipped for this type of activity.
In
summer, the sun frequently shines, but the heat is sweltering, and there is some risk of hurricanes. In this period, the best month (or the least bad) is July because there's usually a certain decrease in rainfall (also in the northern coasts), furthermore, hurricanes are less likely than in August and September.
What to pack
From
November to April: bring light clothes, and a sweatshirt for the evening. When going to the mountains, bring a jacket and hiking boots.
From
May to October, bring lightweight clothing, and possibly a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for thunderstorms. When going to the mountains, bring a sweatshirt or a sweater.
