Dress comfortably because the average temperature is 84 °F. June is the coolest month with an average of 77 °F.
Even though rainfall occurs during the summer months more than spring and winter, you will still get a chance to experience sunnier days than any other time during the year.
I would not worry about the rain. When the rain falls in the summer time, it is usually not for long.
During the summer months, the rain is light. You might have a few scattered showers, but they won’t last as long as the rain you will experience in September, October and November.

So while you will find the cheapest tickets to Ochi for this time of the year, you have to gamble on the rainy days.
I have lived in Ocho Rios for six years and based upon my experience the best time to travel is January, February, July or August.
