in Guadeloupe: when to go?
tropical humide climate
La Guadeloupe bénéficie d'un climat tropical humide remarquablement stable, avec des températures oscillant entre 24°C et 30°C toute l'année. L'archipel connaît deux saisons bien distinctes : la saison sèche de décembre à avril, appelée localement 'carême', offre des conditions idéales avec peu de pluie et des alizés rafraîchissants. La saison humide s'étend de mai à novembre, marquée par des averses tropicales intenses mais généralement brèves, et la période cyclonique d'août à octobre. Les températures de l'eau restent délicieusement chaudes (26-28°C) toute l'année, parfaites pour la baignade et les sports nautiques. Pour profiter pleinement des plages paradisiaques, des randonnées en Basse-Terre et des activités nautiques, privilégiez la période de janvier à avril. C'est le moment où l'île révèle tout son charme avec un ciel azur, une mer turquoise et une végétation luxuriante rafraîchie par les pluies précédentes.
