When to go à Marie-Galante ?
Marie-Galante has a tropical climate, hot and humid throughout the year. The average monthly temperatures range from 21°C in January to 32°C in August. Two seasons are distinguished, a cooler and drier one from December to May and a hotter and rainier one from June to November. The wind contributes to soften the feeling of heat. The water temperatures are very pleasant all year round. Cyclonic phenomena can occur from August to October.
For a long time Marie-Galante was only a day trip during a stay in Guadeloupe. This is no longer the case, tourism is still developing. A stay in Marie-Galante can be considered all year round. A generous sun and a perfect bathing water are always there. If you come during Pentecost, your stay will be enhanced by the music festival "Terre de Blues". You should know that it is difficult to find accommodation during the holiday season, or even to rent a car, especially during the Terre de Blues festival at Pentecost. The period from December to April is the high season. It is the most sought-after, and therefore the most expensive, so it is best to book well in advance. Between April and November, the frequentation is less intense and the rates are more advantageous. This is the low season.
