Grenada experiences a tropical climate. The rainy season spans June to December and the dry season lasts from January to May. June to November is hurricane season. Peak travel season to Grenada is from mid-December to mid-April when the weather is delectable and the island bristles with activity. However, to avoid the throngs of tourists and soaring prices, visit during May or June. These months offer pleasant weather and more affordable rates. March to June offer the best visibility for diving and snorkelling, June and July are great months to see turtle hatchlings, and August sees the island bursting to life as carnival fills the streets with music and colour. Notable events include the Grenada Sailing Festival (January), Carriacou Festival (February to March), Grenada Drum Festival (May) and Spicemas Festival (July to August). For cheap flights to Grenada, the best time to visit is between June and November.

Although Grenada is considered a relatively safe destination, you should still take the usual precautions and use common sense as you would anywhere else in the world. Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is recommended.
Petty crime does happen; leave valuables, important documents and large wads of cash in the hotel safe. Remain vigilant of your surroundings and avoid isolated areas such as beaches and narrow streets (especially at night). Make use of licensed taxis at night and agree on a fare beforehand. Keep hotel and car doors locked. You should familiarise yourself with the local laws and customs.
Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from an infected country. Mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika virus, dengue fever and chikungunya are present, so precautions should be taken to avoid bites. Vaccinations for hepatitis A & B, typhoid and rabies are recommended. Routine vaccinations include MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, meningitis, varicella, polio and influenza.
