Why is the Caribbean so hot and humid?

The Caribbean region is located near the equator, which means it receives direct sunlight all year round. This makes the region very hot, with average temperatures ranging from 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C).

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.
