The climate of Marie-Galante (Guadeloupe)
Marie-Galante is a small island belonging to the French overseas
department of Guadeloupe. Marie-Galante lies in the Caribbean Sea. The
capital of the island is the place of Grand-Bourg. Altogether
approximately 12,000 people live in the island. The population of the
island mainly live from agriculture and fishing-industry. Of recent
years the island has become more and more attractive as a holiday
destination. Due to the influence of man most native species of
animals and plants are extinct here. Only the coral reefs on the
west coast have not been influenced by this and form a luxuriant source
of life. Hence the island is very attractive to divers.
Marie-Galante has a tropical climate with a wet and a drier period.
Although this drier period is rather relative because the average
rainfall here is on the high side throughout the year. On an average
most rain falls in the second half of the year, through which it can
sometimes feel sultry and damp here. In this period tropical storms
and hurricanes can occur here. The day- and night temperatures differ
only a few degrees here through which you can stay very agreeably
here.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
