Montego Bay Jamaica
Jamaica Weather... Jamaica has a tropical climate with hot and humid weather at sea level. The higher inland regions have a more temperate climate. (Bring a light jacket just in case you travel to the mountains where temperatures can be 10 degrees cooler or in case you go on a windy boat ride). Our average annual temperature is between 80-86°F (27-30°C). The coolest months are January and February and the temperature starts going back up in March. July and August are typically the hottest months. Temperature variations between summer and winter is about 10 degrees Ocho Rios Jamaica (affectionately called "Ochi" by the locals) is a wonderful place to visit... and you're going to find out why. But first, you should remember that... ...language can be confusing! .Situated on the north-eastern coastline of the island Jamaica, the metamorphosis of Ocho Rios has been quite remarkable from that of a small, somewhat sleepy fishing village to a main tourist attraction over the last 25 years. Going back a bit further in time, it was not too long ago, in the 1940's that the banana and sugar trade made way for bauxite and alumina mining by the Reynolds Jamaica Mining Company. It created quite a boom for the area until the 1980's. Negril Jamaica... Interestingly, Negril, Jamaica is listed as one of the thousand places one should visit or things to be done before you die. Let's start at the beginning - the name Negril has been shortened from the Spanish word "negrillo" and appears to have referred to the black cliffs just south of where Negril is situated. It is more than likely how the Spanish explorers identified the area on a return voyage. It was first mentioned in 1494, and acted as a haven for ships.
