and moderated by onshore trade winds, with an annual mean

Peninsula, sea breezes restrict high temperatures from reaching 35 °C
(95 °F) on most afternoons. Annual rainfall is around 1,340 millimetres
(52.8 in), falling on 115 days per year. More temperate conditions
occur from November to February with occasional refreshing northerly
breezes, it is drier and becomes hotter in March and April. It is hottest
from May to September, due to proximity to the Caribbean and Gulf
humidity is high the year round, especially so during hurricane season
(averages close to 70% on rainfree days). The hotel zone juts into the
Caribbean Sea, it is surrounded by ocean therefore daytime
temperatures are around 1-2C less and windspeeds are higher than at
the airport located some distance inland, which is the official
