Updated August 2026: Hurricane exposure varies across the Caribbean. Southern destinations such as Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Trinidad and Tobago, and parts of the southern Windwards may face lower direct hurricane frequency than islands farther north, but none are hurricane-proof. Trinidad and Tobago is currently Level 3: Reconsider Travel and remains under a 2026 State of Emergency, so storm risk should not be confused with overall travel risk.

Updated August 2026: October planning should separate hurricane exposure from overall travel risk. Aruba and Curaçao are currently Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions, while the Dominican Republic and Jamaica are Level 2. Lower storm risk does not automatically mean lower overall travel risk, so compare both weather and current advisories before booking.
