== Climate == The Grenadian climate is tropical, tempered by northeast [[trade winds]]. The abundance of water is primarily caused by the tropical, wet climate.<ref name=":02" /> Yearly precipitation, largely generated by the warm and moisture-laden northeasterly trade winds, varies from more than {{convert|3500|mm|in|1|sp=us}} on the windward mountainsides to less than {{convert|1500|mm|in|1|sp=us}} in the lowlands.<ref name=":02" /> The greatest monthly totals are recorded throughout Grenada from June through November, the months when tropical storms and hurricanes are most likely to occur.<ref name=":02" /> Rainfall is less pronounced from December through May, when the equatorial low-pressure system moves south.<ref name=":02" /> Similarly, the highest humidities, usually close to 80 percent, are recorded during the rainy months, and values from 68 to 78 percent are registered during the drier period.<ref name=":02" /> Temperatures averaging {{convert|29|°C|1}} are constant throughout the year, however, with slightly higher readings in the lowlands.<ref name=":02" /> Nevertheless, diurnal ranges within a 24-hour period are appreciable: between {{convert|26|and|32|°C|°F|1}} during the day and between {{convert|19|and|24|°C|°F|1}} at night.<ref name=":02" /> {{Weather box | location = St. George's, Grenada | metric first = y | single line = y | Jan high C = 30.0 | Feb high C = 30.0 | Mar high C = 31.0 | Apr high C = 31.0 | May high C = 31.0 | Jun high C = 31.0 | Jul high C = 31.0 | Aug high C = 31.0 | Sep high C = 31.0 | Oct high C = 31.0 | Nov high C = 31.0 | Dec high C = 30.0 | year high C = 30.8 | Jan mean C = 26.0 | Feb mean C = 26.0 | Mar mean C = 26.5 | Apr mean C = 27.0 | May mean C = 27.5 | Jun mean C = 27.5 | Jul mean C = 27.5 | Aug mean C = 27.5 | Sep mean C = 27.5 | Oct mean C = 27.5 | Nov mean C = 27.0 | Dec mean C = 26.5 | year mean C = 27.1 | Jan low C = 22.0 | Feb low C = 22.0 | Mar low C = 22.0 | Apr low C = 23.0 | May low C = 24.0 | Jun low C = 24.0 | Jul low C = 24.0 | Aug low C = 24.0 | Sep low C = 24.0 | Oct low C = 24.0 | Nov low C = 23.0 | Dec low C = 23.0 | year low C = 23.4 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation mm = 115.0 | Feb precipitation mm = 80.0 | Mar precipitation mm = 65.0 | Apr precipitation mm = 70.0 | May precipitation mm = 115.0 | Jun precipitation mm = 220.0 | Jul precipitation mm = 230.0 | Aug precipitation mm = 220.0 | Sep precipitation mm = 200.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 245.0 | Nov precipitation mm = 245.0 | Dec precipitation mm = 175.0 | Jan rain days = 14 | Feb rain days = 9 | Mar rain days = 10 | Apr rain days = 7 | May rain days = 13 | Jun rain days = 17 | Jul rain days = 20 | Aug rain days = 18 | Sep rain days = 17 | Oct rain days = 20 | Nov rain days = 20 | Dec rain days = 18 | unit rain days = 1.0 mm | Jan humidity = 84 | Feb humidity = 81 | Mar humidity = 80 | Apr humidity = 80 | May humidity = 81 | Jun humidity = 83 | Jul humidity = 84 | Aug humidity = 85 | Sep humidity = 85 | Oct humidity = 86 | Nov humidity = 87 | Dec humidity = 85 | Jand sun = 8 | Febd sun = 8 | Mard sun = 8 | Aprd sun = 8 | Mayd sun = 8 | Jund sun = 7 | Juld sun = 7 | Augd sun = 8 | Sepd sun = 7 | Octd sun = 7 | Novd sun = 7 | Decd sun = 7 | yeard sun = | source 1 = <ref name="intellicast stgeorges">{{cite web|url=http://www.intellicast.com/|publisher=intellicast.com|title=Intellicast - Local and National Weather Forecast, Radar, Maps and Severe Report|access-date=2 September 2016}}</ref> Intellicast.com | source 2 = <ref name="Climatestotravelstgeorges">{{cite web|url=https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/grenada|publisher=climatestotravel|title=Climate of St. George's|access-date=9 December 2021}}</ref> Climatestotravel.com (precipitation, rainy days, humidity, sun) | source = }}
