If you're looking for a tropical paradise to enjoy swimming in December, the
Turks and Caicos Islands
are an ideal destination. With an average ocean temperature of 82°F (28°C) and mostly calm conditions, the waters of the Turks and Caicos are perfect for a refreshing dip. The weather is usually great this time of year, with an average annual air temperature range of 75°F to 95°C (24°C to 35°C) and an ocean water temperature range of 79°F to 85°C (26°C to 29°C). The best time to visit the Turks and Caicos Islands is February, March and April, when you can enjoy the best combination of weather, prices and availability.However, if you can reschedule your vacation due to the unlikely possibility of a hurricane threatening the islands, booking during the off-season can generate significant savings. The climate is very constant throughout the year, with only a few degrees difference in water temperature. The period from August to December has higher rainfall averages (considered the rainy season), but rains are usually quite brief, with sunny conditions before and after. Don't worry when the forecast shows rain, as it will often not be noticed.
At any time you can enjoy popular activities such as boat rental, snorkeling, diving, parasailing, kayaking, rowing and sailing. The presence and number of mosquitoes vary greatly depending on the season, the islands and, most importantly, according to the amount of rain that occurs. In general, the typically dry climate of the Turks and Caicos Islands is not conducive to pests and, therefore, mosquitoes are only a problem after an unusual flood. South Caicos is also drier than the other Caicos Islands and receives less rainfall (and mosquitoes).
North and Central Caicos and the boutique islands of Parrot Cay and Pine Cay can suffer severe and persistent mosquito attacks after heavy rains. The main factors to consider when visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands are accommodation prices, hurricanes and, for some of the islands, the presence of mosquitoes. Statistics show that mid-August to September is the most likely time of year in the Turks and Caicos Islands for a hurricane to occur. Depending on where you're staying and what you plan to do, a vacation package may make sense (such as dive packages or bundled flight packages in Beaches Turks and Caicos).So if you're looking for a tropical paradise to enjoy swimming in December, don't miss out on visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands!.
