Best time to visit Suriname

Suriname is a place lots of people visit almost all year round, but if you’re looking for the best time to go, August-November is definitely the time you should visit. This is based on a number of factors such as the weather, cost of flights and accommodation, peak travel periods and more.

In summer, temperatures can reach as high 34℃ (93℉) in the middle of the day in Paramaribo. The coldest it usually gets in winter-time in Paramaribo is around 23℃ (73℉). Temperatures can often differ in other locations in Suriname, so be sure to continue reading if you plan on visiting elsewhere.

The days are longest in Suriname in August, so if you want to see the sights during the day when the sun is up for the longest time, it’s best to visit around that time of year. On average it rains the most days in May, making it the wettest month of the year. Although it’s the wet season, it can often rain a little bit during the day or evening but have fine weather for a majority of the day too, so don’t let this put you off.
