St Kitts
St Kitts's Topography
At the center of St Kitts lies the dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga, with a 4,000-foot elevation. Rugged peaks and plunging ravines characterize the central mountain range, most of which is covered with dense rainforest. The low areas are dotted with plantations, grasslands, and fruit orchards. On Nevis, the highest peak is Nevis Peak, with a 3,000-foot elevation. The West side of the island is home to a coconut forest, and shares a stretch of coral beaches with the north shore.
St Kitts's weather year around
Temperatures are typical for the Caribbean, ranging from 68° to 90°, with a year-round average of 79°. The Northeastern trade winds offset the heat, and water temperature averages 82° throughout the year. The heart of hurricane season lasts from late August to early November, though strikes are rare and there is plenty of advance notice to prepare. When threatened by a hurricane strike, one should expect a 2-day displacement from evacuation to safe return.
