The Turks and Caicos Islands are a tropical paradise, with an average of 30 mm (or 1.181 inches) of precipitation in July. Although officially part of the hurricane season (June 1 to November 30), hurricanes are rare on the islands. The rainy season usually takes place between late summer and early winter, from late August to early December. November is the wettest month, with an average rainfall of 3.7 inches or 94 millimeters.
When it comes to the best time to visit the Turks and Caicos Islands, April and May are usually the slowest tourist months of the year. Summer is the hot season, making it ideal for a beach vacation, although some may find it too hot for other activities such as hiking, biking and exploring. February is usually the best month of the year for whale watching in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the observations end in March. June is likely to be relatively quiet, in addition to the advantage of off-season prices.
However, August can be quite humid due to Caribbean summer weather. Floods sometimes occur in the Turks and Caicos Islands, but they are largely limited to relatively few different areas of the country. Rainfall patterns by region are quite observable in the Turks and Caicos Islands and, as a small tropical country consisting of islands with limited land mass, rainfall is predictably low. This rain usually falls a few hours after noon and, in the late afternoon, conditions are usually clear and sunny.
If you visit during hurricane season, you'll usually be rewarded with good weather and you'll enjoy lower rates than at other times of the year, especially if you avoid school vacations in July and August. One of the highlights of visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands in June is that it's likely to be relatively quiet, in addition to the advantage of off-season prices.
