Visitors to the Cayman Islands can enjoy balmy weather year-round, with relatively little rainfall to hamper their vacation. But before you start packing, learn a little bit more about Cayman weather. Temperatures in the Cayman Islands vary only slightly throughout the year. There is little rain in the winter dry season, while rain storms in the summer are scattered and generally short. In addition to being the low-season for tourists, summer is also hurricane season. While the Cayman Islands are subject to hurricanes, the chances of a direct hit are very slim. Storms generally turn northward before reaching the Caymans due to the islands' extreme westerly location. More often than not, the islands will only get the heavy rains that come on the outskirts of a hurricane. Direct hits by major storms are so rare in fact, that many elder inhabitants of the islands still relate events in history as before or after "the storm," because they may have only seen one or two of significance in their lifetimes. If you hear that a hurricane has hit, all is not lost. You may not have to alter your trip at all, but do call ahead to verify current conditions and the extent of damage to the island; you may also want to get a statement from local business owners as to whether they are conducting business or when they think they will be operational again. The table below contains selected climatological data for the Cayman Islands.
