WHEN TO GO |
| |
As in much of Central America, the climate in Honduras is dictated
more by altitude than by season. In the central highlands, the weather
is temperate, pleasantly warm in the daytime and cool at night. It's
hardly surprising that the Spanish focused their attention here,
abandoning the flatlands and the northern coast, which can be
unpleasantly hot at any time of year. While the Pacific and Caribbean
coasts at least offer the relief of breezes and cooling rain showers,
San Pedro Sula and other lowland towns can be positively scorching in
summer.
Honduras's rainy season , known as "winter" ( invierno ), runs from May
to November, though how much it will affect your trip depends on where
you're travelling. In much of the country it rains for only a few hours
in the late afternoon, though along the northern coast and in Mosquitia
rain is a constant feature all year round. October and November are
perhaps the only months you might want to avoid these parts: this is
hurricane season , when heavy rains can cause serious flooding, washing
away roads and cutting off all transport.
