Honduras travel guide

Best time to visit Honduras from the UK

Best value: May, Nov. Feb–Jun: dry season; check FCDO advice for crime. Busiest and priciest: Dec–Apr.

Each bar is the average temperature in Tegucigalpa for that month, and its colour shows the season for visitors: best value (good weather, fewer crowds and lower prices), busiest and priciest, or quiet (off-peak, sometimes because the weather is poorer).

• Our pick: May and NovemberThe warmest of the best-value months (21–25°C), with fewer crowds than peak season.
• Peak season: Dec–AprUsually 21–26°C. The busiest time, so book flights and rooms early and expect higher prices.
• Quiet season: Jun–OctAround 22–24°C. The cheapest and least crowded time, though often because of rain or heat.
• Warmest: April (26°C) · coolest: November (21°C)A 5°C swing between the warmest and coolest months.
