Grenada

Many people have only heard about Grenada because of the US invasion of the tiny island nation in the Lesser Antilles. Though I have no personal experience with the island, I have no reason to believe it isn't a tropical paradise. The island, like most in the Lessers is at the mercy of the ITCZ and trade winds. It is wetter in the summer and fall months when the ITCZ and the trades bring a nearly constant threat for showers and thunderstorms. The winter is actually rather dry in Grenada, as they don't have any systems to move through, and the temperatures all around are quite similar since they are parked in the middle of a warm ocean. Grenada is far enough south that most hurricanes stay to their north, and Ivan was the first hurricane they had seen in almost 50 years. Grenada has no national weather service.
