Forecasting Your Dominica Vacation
Dominica is the most northerly of all of the windward islands in the West Indies. A tropical climate means that temperatures are hot and humid most of the year with high temperatures in the 80s year-round. Rain showers will occur throughout the day, but they are bookended by long periods of sunshine and warmth. July to November marks the rainy season.
