อากาศคิงส์ตัน เดือนธันวาคม

Regulars put the good run at December to March and give a number rather than an adjective: on any given day in December the chance of rain is about one in five. Our row says the same thing from the other side - 65mm across 14.7 precipitation days is four millimetres each, so rain is frequent and trivial at once. They name the second of Jamaica's two wet spells as mid-September through November, occasionally lingering into the first days of December, which is the only caveat on the month. They also place this town on the sheltered side of the island, and credit the Christmas breezes with taking the edge off the heat. Our wind is 18.5 kph. The record: 28.4C reading as 31C, 23.4C nights and a 28.5C sea.

Forum posters describe July across Jamaica as hot and notably more humid than the December dry season, with humidity often the bigger day-to-day challenge than the raw temperature itself. Posters describe rain this time of year as highly regionalized - it can be pouring in one spot while a couple of miles away stays bright and sunny. Posters are direct that July sits within hurricane season, though an actual direct hit remains a relatively small possibility for any given visit. It's worth noting Kingston itself sits in something of a rain shadow behind the Blue Mountains, running noticeably drier than Jamaica's wetter north coast - consistent with this destination's own climate data showing well under half the rainy days of the island's rainier regions. Posters generally rate July as hot and humid for Kingston specifically, with rain a real but less dominant factor here than on the north coast.

Forum posters count December-February among Jamaica's best-weather months: dry, warm and balmy, with the ocean genuinely swimmable and generally lower humidity than the wetter months. Regulars are careful to note real regional variation across the island - the north coast tends to see more rain, cloud and wind at this time of year, while the south coast (where Kingston sits) runs sunnier, hotter and just occasionally breezy. One wrinkle worth knowing: because Jamaica sits close to the North Eastern US storm track, a big winter storm passing offshore can push in higher seas, wind and cooler temperatures even during this otherwise dry, sunny stretch.
