And, when summer takes hold – between May and October – the thermometer registers between the mid 20s and the mid 30s. The rainy months are generally January and February, but there are the occasional showers – particularly in the lush north of the island – during the summer.

It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
