A Tropical and Warm Climate
Haïti enjoys a tropical climate, which means temperatures remain quite high throughout the year. In summer, temperatures can reach 32°C to 35°C during the day, with nights that remain warm, often around 25°C. Here’s what to expect during the summer season:
- Average temperature: Summer in Haïti is synonymous with intense heat, especially in coastal areas. On average, temperatures range between 30°C and 35°C. In mountainous regions, temperatures can be slightly cooler, but they are still pleasant compared to the extreme temperatures of other parts of the world.
- Humidity: Humidity can be high in summer, especially in areas near the sea. However, this heat is often mitigated by sea breezes, especially on beaches.
- Rainfall and Thunderstorms: Although summer is the rainy season in Haiti, showers are generally short and intense, often occurring late in the day or in the evening. Thunderstorms are common, but they provide temporary relief from the heat.
