Field notes
Tropical rainforest — Dominica receives some of the highest annual rainfall in the Caribbean (the interior mountains regularly exceed 7,500mm/year), and even Roseau on the leeward coast averages 2,000mm. The brief dry window (February–April) is the cleanest working stretch. Wet season (May–November) brings near-daily afternoon downpours and overlaps hurricane season — Maria (2017) was the most recent severe direct hit. Trade winds keep the heat workable year-round (25–27°C). Humidity is consistently high (74–80%); AC is essential.
