November - May

This is the dry season in Nicaragua with warm temperatures, blue skies and sunshine. Areas at higher altitude will however be cooler, particularly at night, and along the Caribbean coast there can be short tropical showers. This is the perfect time to visit but plan in advance for Christmas, New Year and Easter as many Nicaraguans head to the coast to holiday.

June - October

The end of May officially marks the start of the wet season but showers are usually short and confined to the afternoons and evenings and in fact this is when the lush countryside looks it’s best. From July onwards it becomes increasingly wet and humid and there is a higher risk of tropical storms.
