Honduras: When to Go

Town fairs and celebrations are held throughout the year - the largest are between February and August. While the coastal lowlands are warm year-round, the mountainous interior can be cool and rainy (especially between May and October). On the Caribbean coast, it can rain year-round though flooding only occasionally impedes travel. The best time of the year to visit is between February and March, when the climate is relatively dry but the vegetation is still lush.

Weather

The mountainous topography of Honduras means that climate varies significantly depending on altitude. Mid-altitude temperatures are fairly moderate with regular sunshine making the mercury climb from 15-20°C (59-68°F) to about 28°C (82°F) during the middle of the day. Rainfall is low to moderate with a patchy wet season from May to October. Lowland and coastal regions experience less of a temperature range with warmer nights and slighty less rainfall, though the Caribbean coast is wet year-round. Hurricane season is from June to November.
