The most recommended month is "November"

The most recommended month to visit St. Helena is November. This is the dry season, with very little precipitation and a comfortable climate throughout the island. The temperature is around 20°C, making it comfortable, and the humidity is low, creating an ideal environment for tourists. Visibility is particularly good during this time, making it ideal for hiking around famous sites such as the island's symbolic Diana's Peak and Napoleon's Tomb, and for appreciating the breathtaking natural scenery. Ecotourism such as bird watching and dolphin watching also becomes more active, providing a great opportunity to experience the island's unique ecosystem. In addition, it is just before the tourist season gets busy, so you can enjoy your trip in a calm atmosphere. There are many accommodation options and reservations are relatively easy to make, making it easy to plan your trip. If you want to fully experience the rich nature and culture of St. Helena, November is the best month.

The worst month to visit is July

July is one of the months you should avoid traveling to St. Helena. This is the peak of the rainy season on the island, with heavy rainfall and unstable weather every day. Road conditions may worsen, and access to mountainous areas and nature reserves is likely to be restricted. Trekking and outdoor sightseeing, which are the highlights of tourism, are heavily dependent on the weather, so there is a risk that they will not be able to proceed as planned. In addition, temperatures often drop below 20°C, making it an uncomfortable trip for those who are sensitive to the cold. Visibility will also be poor, making it difficult to fully enjoy the island's charms of cliffs and the magnificent views of the ocean. Rainfall also increases the risk of landslides, which may affect local infrastructure and transportation. July is not a good time to spend comfortably with limited tourism infrastructure. For travelers who value contact with nature, it is wise to avoid this month.
