St. George's, Grenada perches in the southeastern Caribbean. Yet its climate data upends the cliché of endless tropical heat. The headline is rainfall: across all twelve months, St. George's receives only around 3mm of rain, so the island stays essentially dry year-round. There is no wet season to dodge. What shifts the mood month to month is temperature, tracing a neat arc from cool winters through warm summers and back, all under a steady humidity of around 70%. That 70% humidity matters when you pack. It sits at the milder end of tropical readings. Yet it lingers every day. In winter it adds a damp chill. Layers beat one bulky coat. In summer it lends gentle weight to otherwise pleasant warmth. The pairing of near-zero rainfall with moderate humidity is rare, and it makes St. George's good for travelers who crave reliable dry skies without calendar gymnastics. Temperatures in St. George's follow a textbook curve. December through February is the coolest stretch, with daytime highs around 7-9°C (44-48°F) and nights that can dip to 2-3°C (35-38°F). Spring warms gradually, and by June the shift into the warm season is clear. July and August top out at 22°C (72°F), after which a steady cooling carries through to December. For a Caribbean address, winter readings are surprisingly brisk, so arriving in January in shorts and sandals is a rookie error.
