Is it hurricane season in Honduras in October?

Question

I'm thinking of hitting roatan Honduras in early October. How's the weather then?

How's roatan in general? Looks amazing.

Answer 1

yes, october and november

Answer 2

It is really a toss up, we could have a complete week of sunny days or we could have a complete cloudy week. I remember a couple of years ago, October was very hot and sunny, temp was about 100 and no cloud in the sky, but then Mitch passed by in Oct.

As the previous poster mentioned. it is unlikely we get hit by hurricanes, since 1974 Fifi we ve only had mitch 1998. No other hurricane since.

I would say you can come down in oct and you have a good chance of getting good weather

Answer 3

Generally, hurricane season is considered to end the first of November.  Honduras is south of the actual hurricane belt and the biggest percentage of the storms pass

by to the north.  

Roatan is amazing and well worth a visit, and we have two rainy seasons.  The first is June and July and the second is Oct. to Feb., so a visit the first of October would be a toss up for you weather wise.  Even when it is raining it is still warm, though.

Edit:  Sorry.  First of all, what is "normal" anywhere?  And "season" doesn't necessarily mean it is going to rain every single day and night.  Usually, June and July are not as rainy and are a welcome relief after the heat of April and May.  We can get a shower every day or so and sun in between.  Sometimes it will only rain at night and be nice all day long.  Really one of the nicest times of year.  Late October until into Jan. is the official rainy season.  Again, it can be a comfortable, occasional rain, type of year or, like last year, it seemed like it rained every single day for three months straight.  By the same token, at different times the "sunny" that so many tourists crave are downright miserable.  Pay us a visit.  You will enjoy yourself rain or shine.
