Source: Meteorological data for Grenada is based on weather statistics gathered for the 33-year period 2012 to 2021 by the Grenada Meteorology Services at the closest weather station: Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND), formerly known as Point Salines Airport, which is located 11km (6mi) south of the capital, St George's.

Advice on the best time to visit a particular destination is based on average local weather statistics, when the weather conditions are generally better than at other times of the year. We consider high and low temperatures, risk of rain (and thunderstorms, etc.), amount of sunshine and sea temperature. For general outdoor activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 18°C (64°F) and 27°C (80°F); and for hot-weather activities we favour clear, rainless days with a temperature range between 24°C (75°F) and 32°C (89°F). Often, the best times to visit correspond to high season and therefore involve higher prices.
