When to travel
Grenada maintains balmy tropical temperatures almost all year long, with an average hovering around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Grenada's rainy season lasts from June to November, when rain falls an average of about 22 days per month. Grenada's dry season falls between November and May, which is also the high tourism season in the Caribbean.
If a quieter, more peaceful vacation is in your sights, then avoid visiting during popular festivities, like the annual drum festival at Tivoli. If you're in search of a more up-beat environment, Carnival is one of the biggest and most popular events in the Caribbean. In Grenada, Carnival is celebrated on the second week of August.
