Turks and Caicos
Turks and Caicos's Topography
Turks and Caicos is an archipelago of eight main islands and 30 to 40 small cays scattered around two large limestone platforms. The entire low-lying island country is surrounded by a continuous beautiful coral reef about two miles offshore.
Turks and Caicos's weather year around
The average temperatures hover between 75°F and 85°F. From June through October, daytime highs can reach the 90°Fs, especially in the late summer months. Constant trade winds sustain a comfortable climate year-round. Turks and Caicos get about 21 inches of rain per year, but showers are usually brief. 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.
