Port-au-Prince's Climate
Port-au-Prince is the capital of Haiti, sitting on the Gulf of Gonâve on the southwestern coast of Hispaniola and hemmed in by surrounding mountains. It has a hot, humid tropical climate with high temperatures year-round and daytime highs typically 30–34°C. Rainfall comes in two main bursts: one around April–June and another in August–November, separated by a shorter dry lull. A cooler, drier season runs from December to March. From June to November the city falls within the Atlantic hurricane season, when tropical storms and heavy downpours are possible.
