Winter weather question?

[Joby]

We are sailing to the Southern Caribbean in late January/early February. I have looked at historical weather averages for the islands during that time of year.

 

The average temperatures are around 79-80 F, winds ave. 11 mph, water temp. 79 F.

 

We live in the Midwest and for us, a 50 F day during January would feel like a summer day. Whereas a 50 F day in July would feel like a winter day.

 

For comparison--we have cruised to the Eastern and Western Caribbean in early March and mid October and had land vacations Mexico in June/July.

 

My question is--what is the average "real feel" temp. going to be like in the Southern Caribbean in late January? Will it feel really warm/sweaty overall (as in October) or be a bit chilly (light jacket or long sleves with shorts)?

If it is a Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan, you will be warm to hot, the entire time, including at night.

Long sleeves? No!

Light sweater for some, but not all nights? Yes!

Will it be hot? Yes! :D

The 70 degrees is far better then the snow and cold of the Midwest especially where we live (Minnesota)

Thanks! That may simplify packing.

The only time you'll need a jacket or light sweater is when you're inside on the ship. Sometimes the air conditioning is too cold for me.
