When Is the Best Time to Visit Turks and Caicos?

The most popular time to travel to the Caribbean is between December and March, as this is often when the weather is best on the islands and many people are seeking sunshine to escape winter in the northern hemisphere. Some choose to avoid travelling in peak season because it’s busier, but a destination like the Turks and Caicos islands never feels overly busy, especially at exclusive resorts and hotels.

For the highest temperatures, the best time to visit Turks and Caicos is between April and June when you can expect around 30°C most days. The likelihood of a short, heavy rain shower is also slightly more likely at this time of year, but these never last long and shouldn’t impact your plans for the day.

The best time to travel to Turks and Caicos if you really want to feel like you’re the only people around is between August and November. This is considered to be tropical storm season in the Caribbean, but the chances of anything serious are very slim. And besides, when you stay at a resort like the ones we’ve mentioned above, staying indoors whilst it rains for a few hours is hardly a hardship.

If you’re hoping to find the perfect balance between the best weather on the islands without the holiday rush, the best month to visit Turks and Caicos would be April, when the chances of rain are still low and the peak season is coming to an end. But as we’ve said, Turks and Caicos is never a destination that feels busy, and the weather is also always warm and reasonably sunny. So no matter when you travel, a brilliant experience is certain.
