Grenada has a wet tropical climate. It is at times tempered by moderate trade winds from the northeast. The country has an average annual temperature in the high-20’s Celsius and two main seasons.

The humid and hot rainy season is from June to December whilst the dry season is from January to May. The dry season is the most popular time for tourists as rainfall can be quite abundant later.

June to November is also the hurricane season. Grenada is not considered particularly risky for hurricanes. But, it is at the southernmost end of a hurricane belt.

With the island’s mountains the nights can be cooler.

While Grenada has a diverse history, the country is relatively safe to visit.

Tourists can be victim of theft in Grenada. Thieves steal items like credit cards, jewelry and passports. Carefully consider what valuables you wish to bring before travelling. Be watchful after dark, especially in or near high traffic areas.

Walking after dark, using the local coach system, and using taxis hired on the road are causes for extra caution. Only use taxis registered with the GTA (Grenada Taxi Association). Members must pass extra motoring tests and receive training from the Grenada Tourism Board.

In Grenada you can be prosecuted for using foul language in the presence of an officer of the law.

The Grenadian society is generally intolerant of homosexuality. The law does criminalise consensual same-sex sexual activities. There have been no reports of violence in Grenada connected with real or perceived orientation.

Grenada is called the “The Spice Isle” for its renowned selection and variety of spices. The island has many interesting spice-related activities to check out. There are tours which take you to several of the spice plantations.

• Belmont Estate – This estate is the most famous plantation estate in the country. It’s 300 years old and its main crop is cocoa. On a tour you can see the full process of how the estate’s beans are fermented, dried and turned into chocolate.
• Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station – For a shorter tour option, you can go to the processing station. This is a 15 minute experience to learn a bit about the nutmeg industry on the island. You will see nutmeg being dried, sorted, and shined by locals.
• St. George’s Market – If you want to go straight to the spice-shopping, you’ll be thrilled by the variety of products. You can get many selections of bagged spices or peculiar items such as nutmeg jam and vanilla essence.

Think ahead on what to pack by looking through these suggestions:

• Clothing – Grenada can often be hot and humid due to its tropical climate and wet season. Be sure to pack accordingly for the time of year and the activities you wish to do. Consider bringing sun cream, water-protective gear, bathing suits, and something for the cooler nights.
• Health Items – It is always useful to have important first aid kit items whilst travelling. the NaTHNaC also recommends a traveller’s diarrhoea kit to help deal with the effects of the illness.
• Insect Repellent – With the mosquito-borne illnesses of Grenada it is especially key to bring insect repellent.

If you are in Grenada and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
