From December to April, St. Lucia is all about that perfect jolly weather. We're seeing stellar temperatures between 25°C and 30°C. So, for everyone daydreaming of sipping rum punch by the beach or diving into crystal-clear waters at Marigot Bay, this is your moment to shine.

But then, enter June to November. St. Lucia dons its rainy attire. Now, don’t let the term ‘rainy season’ get you down – we're talking short tropical showers followed by gorgeous rainbows. Temps still hover around 26°C to 31°C. It's nature's own spa day: lush, green, and oh-so-refreshing.

In-betweeners fear not! May and December serve up some lovely middle ground. Still balmy, slightly rainy but with plenty of sun breaks to make those beach days count.

Whether you're up for sunbathing, rainforest trekking, or simply chilling with a cocktail, St. Lucia won't disappoint.
