Humid summers, Moderate winters
Tropical year-round — 25-28°C every month, never below 22°C even at night. The variable is rain: late spring through early fall (May-Oct) is the wet/hurricane season; September and October carry real cyclone risk. The structural advantage is the constant trade winds — the heat is genuinely tolerable in a way Cancún-on-a-still-day isn't. Best window is December through April (dry, breezy, 26°C).
