Averages for Montego Bay in September

Montego Bay is one of the Caribbean’s hottest holiday destinations.  Ideally located on the northwest coast of Jamaica, “MoBay” is filled with relaxing excursions and robust culture. 

Make no mistake despite entering the fall months Montego Bay is still hot, hot, hot in September.  With a temperature range from 28 degrees Celsius to 31, September is a scorcher.  In addition, September and October are the rainiest months in Montego Bay.  September usually receives around 110 mm of rain.  And important to consider, this is hurricane season for the Caribbean.  While Jamaica has not received significant damage from a hurricane in decades, the potential danger is always there. 

For the adventurous travellers who come to the Caribbean during the most affordable time of the year because of hurricane season, book a Chukka Caribbean Adventures tour.  Chukka offers a range of tours including tubing in a jungle river, soaring through the jungle treetops on a zip line and climbing Dunns River Falls.  This is a once in a lifetime experience for those with a heart for adventure. 

And for a unique dining experience, venture out to Nyam ‘N’ Jam for locals’ favourite spot.  This restaurant on 17 Harbour Street has traditional Jamaican cuisine including jerked meat and fresh seafood.  If you’re still feeling adventurous, try oxtail and cow foot.  And the prices can’t be beat—entrees will cost between £3 and £6 each.

Within a quick jaunt to the beach, the Paradise Ironshore Apartments is a great option for affordable accommodations in Montego Bay.  This 3-star facility offers an outdoor pool and spa tub as well as balconies, stovetops and full-sized refrigerators and freezers for each room.   Enjoy the privacy and autonomy of reserving one of these apartments for your stay in Jamaica.  A one bedroom, one bathroom unit will cost £105 a night.
