January weather forecast
Haiti

In Haiti, the month of January is part of the winter season, distinguished by mild temperatures and lower rainfall. The country's tropical location ensures that temperatures remain relatively warm, ranging from 21°C (69.8°F) at night to 28°C (82.4°F) during the day. This makes January one of the cooler months of the year, providing a break from the tropical heat typical of other months.

Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti, situated near the coast, enjoys average temperatures from 20°C (68°F) to 28°C (82.4°F). The city receives a modest rainfall of about 33mm (1.3"), making it drier compared to the mountainous regions of the country, such as Kenscoff, where the temperatures can dip to 13°C (55.4°F) due to its high altitude.

In terms of precipitation, January is amongst the driest months of the year. It follows December, another dry month, and precedes February, which continues the trend of low precipitation. This relatively dry period offers an opportunity for travelers and locals to engage in outdoor activities without the hindrance of heavy rainfall or intense heat.

As compared to the preceding month of December, January sees a slight dip in temperatures. This decline in temperature continues into February, although the difference is minimal and may not be significantly felt due to Haiti's generally warm climate. The sun shines for about eight hours per day, providing plenty of daylight for activities, and the sea temperatures around Haiti's coastal regions hover around a pleasant 27°C (80.6°F), ideal for water-based activities.

However, even in this period of reduced rainfall, isolated showers can occur, primarily in the northern and central regions of the country. These short-lived showers contribute to the overall low rainfall levels of the month but are usually not disruptive to day-to-day activities. In terms of climatic extremes, January does not hold the record for the hottest, coldest, or wettest month, but its consistently pleasant weather is appreciated by locals and tourists alike.
