The Caribbean coast and islands have a hot climate, daytime temperatures reach the upper 20s°C to mid-30s°C (80-95°F). Typically there are two rainy seasons, May to June and August to November. Storms can be torrential and sometimes cause local flooding. From the end of the year into March, high winds come blowing out of the North. During these windy times, small craft advisories may be issued. In the San Andrés Islands you have to watch for hurricanes from May to September. Historically, hurricanes do not strike as far south as the northern coast of South America.
