Hello,
What are the experiences with a trip to Tabago in july (raining season).
Is that a good idea, or better wait for a other period.
Thanks.
holiday in July

A little warmer and a little more rain but it's my favorite time of the year in Tobago. Everything is so green and the island is not as crowded.

Re: holiday in July
As Hugh say, the island is very greeen at that time.
But for the weather, no one can say "it´s always raining" i july. And in the same way, no one can really tell you what type of weather you will get 2-3 months ahead.
I´ve been in Tobago since 1992, mostly 4-6 weeks during june - august, and all summers are different. Sometimes I hardly get any rain in daytime, mostly showers during the afternoon-night, sometimes 2-3 weeks with quite sunny weahter and than 2-3 hard showers per week in daytime.
Sometimes many small showers during daytime/afternoon and some in the night. You will never really know in forhead how the weather will be. And mostly the sky isn´t all clear all the time, and I like that because the sun is really hot, hot.
One year the tropical storms did arrive early, I got two storms in three weeks time. One of them, Ivan, did become a bad hurricane when leaving T&T-area. Those two storm gave me almost three weeks with mostly rain. But that doesn´t matter for me as I´m there for 4-6 weeks. But I´d feel sorry for those who just arrive for two weeks vcacation!
If there´s showers in the night you will wake up in the morning, and around 07:00 the humidity might be 85-95% and temp about 27C. If it´s a sunny day the humidity will drop to some 60-65% and the temp might reach some 30-34C.
In the evening, around 8:00, the temp is mostly about 27-28C, humidity around 75-80%, and I go out feeling "what a nice cool evening". I adapt quite quickly maybe you also do so.
So I´m afraid there´s no real answer, no one can say "this how the weather will be in july". The weather is changing there too as it does all over the world. But I´m going down this year in mid-july for 4-5 weeks again!

Re: holiday in July
I'll be there June 21 to August 3 this year!!! Can't wait.
Ivan took down some of my bananas early so we cooked them instead of having them for breakfast. No problem, mon.
