Weather and driving conditions in Grenada
Weather
Grenada has two seasons: a dry season from January to May, with little rainfall and plenty of sunshine, and a wet season from June to December. The wet season brings heavier rain and sits within the Caribbean hurricane season, so expect more unsettled weather during those months.
Heavy tropical rain can arrive quickly when driving in Grenada, especially on roads that wind through the interior hills, so slow down and give yourself extra stopping distance when downpours hit. The heat builds through the day, particularly along low-lying coastal roads, so keep water in the car and take breaks if you feel tired behind the wheel.
Driving conditions
Main roads linking Grenada's towns are paved but narrow and winding, so take your time on a road trip in Grenada. Head inland and you'll encounter steep, tight roads that are sometimes unpaved — a vehicle with higher ground clearance helps here.
St. George's is compact and hilly, with narrow one-way streets near the Carenage that can back up during market hours. Parking is limited in the center, so arriving early helps.
Outside St. George's, roads narrow quickly and signage is minimal on routes cutting through the interior. Gas stations are sparse once you leave the main coastal towns, so fill up before heading out.
Goats and chickens frequently wander onto rural roads in Grenada, particularly in hillside areas away from main towns. You're most likely to encounter them during early morning and late afternoon hours.
