Advice for tourists. 

As one can see, the weather in Haiti is relatively comfortable throughout the year, but the most appealing time to be there, especially for an American tourist, would be in the dry winter season, say in January. Then the temperatures and humidity are most comfortable. One could enjoy all sorts of ocean water sports, like boating, fishing, skin diving or just sun bathing. Hiking in the mountains would also be enjoyable and interesting. 

In January you would also avoid the hurricane season from June to October, as well as the danger of flash floods in the rainy season. Of course the danger of severe earthquakes always exists, as a magnitude 7 quake occurred on 12 January, 2010.

Have a splendid Caribbean adventure on the Isle of Mystery and Magic, where the people and climate welcome you. There is little tourism in Haiti, so you will be given special treatment. Explore the mysteries of voodoo ceremonies while feasting on delicious Creole cuisine inspired by French tradition. While you are away from your hotel you can rent a real zombie to watch your stuff in your room.
