In addition to being hot, the Caribbean is also very humid. The warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean evaporate, releasing water vapor into the atmosphere. This water vapor creates a blanket of moisture that traps heat, making the region feel even hotter.
The combination of heat and humidity makes the Caribbean a very challenging climate for humans to live in. However, the region is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches and coral reefs in the world, which attract millions of tourists each year.
