Climate One of Jamaica's greatest attractions is it's climate. Temperatures around the coast are usually between 80 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity is relatively high throughout the year. A welcoming gentle breeze usually blows.The average annual amount of rainfall is 76 inches, though there are wide variations across the island. Parts of the north east coast and the Blue Mountains can receive considerably more rainfall. Parts of the south coast receive very little rain and often experience drought. Although there is a 'rainy season' from June to November, short, heavy showers can happen at any time of the year. Jamaica's climate explains it's ecology and environment. Variations in terrain, patterns of human settlement, flora and fauna can be explained by the climate.

Jamaica Jamaica, the third largest island in the Caribbean, is a country of extraordinary beauty with a distinctive and vibrant culture. It has white sandy beaches, turquoise sea, cascading waterfalls, exotically coloured flowers and swaying palm trees. Yet Jamaica is much more than just a holiday destination. Jamaica is a developing country and the impact on its towns, villages and people is easy to see. Yet, this small island has produced one of the world's great musical forms, reggae, which reverberates throughout the island producing a musical backdrop to complement it's physical attributes . A holiday in Jamaica, venturing away from the resorts is an enthralling and illuminating experience.
