Jamaica Info

Capital City: Kingston
Jamaica is an island nation in the Caribbean, located to the south of Cuba and to the west of the island of Hispaniola.

Climate

The climate in Jamaica is tropical, with hot and humid weather, although higher inland regions are more temperate. Some regions on the south coast are relatively dry rain-shadow areas. Jamaica lies in the hurricane belt of the Atlantic Ocean; as a result, the island sometimes experiences significant storm damage.
