What is the typical weather like in the Caribbean during November and December–average temperature, likelihood of hurricanes, average rainfall/frequency?
Answer Hey Tony…Hurricane season is June through November. However, it is still hit or miss during those months. I do not usually cruise during hurricane season because I want the guaranteed good weather. The temps range from 86 degrees Fahrenheit to 95 degrees basically all year round in the Caribbean. I’m actually going on a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale on November 17, 2007. The weather should be fine since there should be no threat of a hurricane. December is a great time to cruise as well is Jan. – May. It’s Peak season for cruising though so the prices tend to peak a bit. Average rainfall depends on where your ports of call are. They vary from the Eastern Passage, Western and Southern Caribbean areas. If you are hesitant to cruise due to unpredictable weather then I recommend a Southern Caribbean cruise from any destination. Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Panama, etc. are all out of the hurricane belt. Guaranteed sun everyday. Aruba averages approximately 4 inches of rain fall per yea
