The best time to visit Paramaribo is during the dry seasons, which run from August to November and February to April. These periods offer less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and excursions into the interior. The weather is generally hot and humid year-round, with temperatures averaging 27-30°C (80-86°F). The wettest months are May to July and December to January, though brief afternoon showers can occur at any time. For wildlife viewing and river excursions, the dry season provides better access to remote areas and clearer skies for photography.
