Climate - a rough guide
The climate in Honduras is dictated more by altitude than by seasons. The coastal lowlands have a hot tropical climate all year round with temperatures near 86 F. The mountainous interior has a milder climate and in December and January temperatures are around 64 F and nights are cool. May to November is the rainy season and October and November are the months of the hurricane season when the weather can be more unpredictable and rainfall may be heavy with the risk of hurricanes passing through.
When to Go - In brief, the best time to visit Honduras is from December to May.
