Climate and Weather of the Honduras Bay Islands

One of the primary reasons that the Honduras Bay Islands make for an excellent vacation spot is due to the fact that they feature an excellent climate. The average annual temperature is in the mid 80s, with highs of high 80s in the summer and lows of low 80s in the winter. Usually about three or four times a year, the occasional cold front, or norte, will sweep through the island, dropping temperatures into the 60s. Like the main land, humidity is high year round and is especially noticeable during the summer.

Average rainfall on the islands is around 100 inches per year. This creates a lush, green, and tropical environment. The islands feature a "Rainy Season"that usually ranges from October into January, with December typically featuring the highest amount of rainfall at about 24 inches. During the summer months weeks may go by without any rainfall, so when the islands do get a tropical downpour it makes for a welcome change. The temperature of the ocean around the islands makes for phenomenal swimming, diving, and snorkeling because the temperature is usually between 81-88 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature so ideal that most of the time during the summer a body suit is not even required for SCUBA diving.

The islands experience a high degree of sunlight each year. This usually ranges from about eleven and a half to thirteen and a half hours a day due to the fact the islands are located near the equator. The warm climate due to being located near the equator causes hurricanes to be fairly likely during September and October. While these hurricanes rarely directly hit Honduras or the islands, even a far off hurricane can often cause an extreme amount of rainfall.
