Want to nab cheap Caribbean rates during hurricane season? On these three islands you’ll cut your chance of a washout.
ARUBA
Like the Bahamas, Aruba offers snorkeling and secluded beaches — but only a 4% risk of a hurricane through November, vs. a 51% chance in the Bahamas, says Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State University.
ST. MAARTEN
Known for its excellent food, this Dutch island has a 5% probability of a hurricane during November.
CONTADORA ISLAND, PANAMA
Unlike on the Caribbean side of Panama, showers pass quickly — leaving you more time on the white-sand beaches.
