Traveller notes on St. George's in January
Notes from nearby Tobago (147 km away)
St. George's doesn't have its own notes for January yet — these are about Tobago, close enough to share the season.
January sits inside the December-to-May dry season and regulars describe it as warm, sunny and dry - with wind as the caveat, since this is when the trades blow hardest and nobody here treats that as unusual. Our row makes the point numerically: 30.6 kph, which is a stiff breeze as a monthly average, and 30.4C reading as 33C without it feeling worse. Rain looks frequent at 14.3 days but totals only 47.1mm, about three millimetres each - passing showers rather than weather. The sea is 26.9C and generally calms after Christmas, though the boards will not promise it. The record: humidity 77 percent, 10.5 hours of sun and AQI 49.
Other months in St. George's
Forum posters describe September temperatures in the mid-80sF (around 29-30C), with brief daily showers - typically 15-30 minutes, often first thing in the morning or overnight - that posters describe as a welcome cooling-off rather than a disruption, with a full washout day happening maybe once every couple of weeks. Posters note one visitor's mid-September trip specifically saw heavy but short-lived rain that cleared quickly. Posters are consistent that while September falls within hurricane season, Grenada sits outside the main hurricane belt, citing only about three major storms in the past 50 years as evidence the risk here runs genuinely lower than further north in the Caribbean. Posters describe September as a quieter month with fewer tourists and easier hotel bookings. Posters generally rate September as warm, occasionally rainy but rarely disruptive for St. George's, with meaningfully lower hurricane risk than much of the wider Caribbean.
Forum posters describe March as squarely in the middle of Grenada's dry season, running January through June, and consistently rate it a good time to visit despite what online forecasts sometimes show - posters are direct that there are no real storms this time of year regardless of what a weather app predicts. Posters flag the so-called Easter winds as a genuine feature of this period, cooling things down but also kicking up loose sand on the beach. Posters describe daytime temperatures typically in the high 20s to low 30sC with overnight lows noticeably cooler, and generally rate any rain that does fall as brief showers rather than extended wet spells. Posters consistently rate March as a comfortable, reliably dry time to visit St. George's.
