Keep these Caribbean
factors in mind

---

Chances
of a direct hit

The Caribbean covers a huge area, much larger than most people think (look at a map). Even a monster hurricane is going to miss many islands.

---

Traditional
hurricane belt

The hurricane path lies north of southerly islands like Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, Curacao, and Trinidad, so visiting those islands during the hurricane season poses less risk.

---

Best side of
an island during
a hurricane

The effect of a hurricane or tropical storm is usually less pronounced on an island's Caribbean than Atlantic side. Take that into account when selecting a resort.

---

Tropical storms
can also ruin vacations

Don't just be concerned about hurricanes. The number and severity of tropical storms increase during the hurricane season.
