Best time to visit Grenada: month by month
Short answer
January to May is the best time, the dry season, with highs of 27-29°C and about 16-18 rainy days a month, often short showers. June to December is wetter (up to 26 rainy days in July) and inside the hurricane season, but quieter and cheaper. Spicemas carnival in mid-August is the big exception for crowds.
