Tropical weather and distinct seasons
Suriname has two rainy seasons: the long wet season (April to August) and the short wet season (December and January).
The long dry season (August to November) and the short dry season (February and March) offer more consistent sun.
Lightweight, breathable rain gear or a sturdy umbrella for those sudden tropical showers.
High SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat are essentials year-round.
Quick-dry, moisture-wicking synthetic fabrics or thin cotton keep you comfortable in 80%+ humidity.
