The average temperature on Margarita Island is 85 F. It has sparse rainfall from June-October. There is no hurricane season.

    At Playa El Agua, a major tourist spot on the island, the daytime temperatures range from 78ºF in January to 87ºF in September. At night, the temperature drops 3 to 5 degrees. Because the island is essentially a desert island, there can be long stretches with only negligible rainfall. In both 2003 and 2004, 93% of days on the island had 6 or more hours of sun, making these very dry years.

    Spring of this year was almost entirely sunny, and early summer of 2006 has been the same, thus far.
