The best month to visit is "February"

February is one of the most ideal months for tourists to visit Martinique. First of all, it is right in the middle of the dry season, and the days are sunny and there is almost no worry of rain. In Martinique, where temperatures are stable throughout the year, the humidity is relatively low in February, and the sea water temperature is comfortable, making it the perfect condition for enjoying beach activities and marine sports. In addition, this month is the month of Martinique's largest event, the Carnival, which is a great opportunity to experience local culture, music, and parades. Tourist attractions and the entire city are lively, and it is a time when the charm of Martinique is truly condensed. There are few problems in terms of safety and transportation, so you can expect a highly satisfying trip from beginners to repeat travelers.

The least recommended month is "September"

September is considered the most avoidable month for traveling to Martinique. The main reason for this is that it is the peak of hurricane season. In particular, this month is at high risk of large storms in the Caribbean, and flight cancellations and schedule changes occur frequently. In addition, tourist facilities are likely to be closed and beach access restrictions are likely to occur due to strong winds and heavy rain, making it difficult to enjoy sightseeing as planned. In addition, high humidity and heat tend to limit outdoor activities. Hotels and transportation options tend to be limited compared to normal times, which also affects comfort. From the perspective of both safety and comfort, it is wise to avoid visiting in September as much as possible.
