The climate of the Grenadines is a relatively uniform one characterized by a northeast breeze which prevails most of the year. The temperature averages about 80 degrees F. in the dry season and 74 degrees F. in the rainy season. Significantly less rain falls on the smaller Islands; from 50-70 inches per year. These drier conditions predominate because of their inability to cause condensation due to a lack of a high cordilliera.

Carriacou is the largest of the Grenadines in Grenada territory. It is seven miles long and three miles wide at the broadest point. The island is irregular in shape with a ridge running the length of it averaging 750 feet in height with the highest point, a hill at the northern end called High North, reaching 850 feet above sea level.
To get to Carriacou, you have to fly to Grenada (LIAT, Caribbean Star, American Eagle, Air Jamaica, Condor, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Excel Airways and others). From Grenada, you can take a small plane (SVGAIR : 20 min) or a speed boat (Osprey express : 90 min).
