Best time to visit

The climate of Dominica is totally tropical, with heavy rainfall, trade winds and hurricanes in season. Hot, humid weather is the norm year round and temperatures vary only slightly over the year between 26?C and 32?C. Rainfall is experienced year-round and is heaviest from June to October and in August. This is the height of the hurricane season, which is best avoided.


Car rental in Melville Hall Airport

The island lacks major roads, with the few out-of-town roads varying from poorly maintained metalled to mud tracks which get flooded after heavy rains. SUVs and four-wheel drives are sensible rental vehicles for those planning on touring the island. In town, narrow streets jammed with business vehicles, trucks, people and through traffic make driving here an adventure, with patience an essential requirement.
