When to Visit Roseau

  • Winter (December – February)

    Winter is part of the dry season in Roseau and one of the best times to visit. Temperatures average between 75°F and 85°F (24°C to 29°C), with lower humidity and minimal rain. This season sees an influx of tourists escaping colder climates, especially cruise ship visitors. It’s ideal for exploring the island’s waterfalls, hot springs, and national parks under sunny skies. Carnival season begins to build in February, bringing colorful street celebrations and music.

  • Spring (March – May)

    Spring continues the dry season into March and early April, with warm temperatures and relatively low rainfall. However, May marks the transition to the wet season, and showers become more frequent, especially later in the month. Fewer tourists during this time mean quieter trails and better hotel rates. It's a wonderful season for nature lovers to explore the island's hiking paths, such as those in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, before the heavy rains set in.

  • Summer (June – August)

    Summer in Roseau is hot and humid, with daily highs often reaching into the upper 80s °F (31°C) and frequent tropical rain showers. It’s the beginning of the hurricane season, though storms are not as common early in the summer. While the weather can be unpredictable, this is a great time for diving and snorkeling, as marine visibility is generally excellent. Cultural festivals continue through the season, adding local flavor and music to the atmosphere.

  • Autumn (September – November)

    Autumn is the height of hurricane season in Dominica, with September being the most active month for tropical storms. Rainfall is at its peak, and travel disruptions are more likely. Despite the risk, this is the lushest time of year, with rivers and waterfalls at full strength and rainforests vibrant and green. The tourist crowds are minimal, and travelers who come prepared for the rain will find a quiet, uncrowded version of the island.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
