Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Caribbean's climate is driven by its geography:
Located near the equator, the region receives direct, intense sunlight year-round, yielding average temperatures of 75–85°F (24–29°C).
The Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean heat up, evaporating vast amounts of water. This moisture creates a humid blanket that traps heat, raising the heat index.
The combination of high heat and humidity creates a challenging environment for humans but sustains stunning beaches and coral reefs that draw millions of visitors.
