Best time to visit Nicaragua

Nicaragua is a place lots of people visit almost all year round, but if you’re looking for the best time to go, December-April 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, the average maximum temperature in Managua climbs to around 35℃ (94℉), but temperatures can sometimes reach as high as 36℃ (98℉) on the hottest days of the year. In the winter months, it can get down to as low as 20℃ (68℉) at night. The climate can differ in many places across Nicaragua, and you can see more in the handy table below.

If you’re keen to see the sights of Nicaragua during the day, the sun stays up the longest around July. The wet season in Nicaragua falls around October, so if you prefer the dryer weather, you should look to visit in January instead.
