time in the tropics, especially at higher elevations. During the summer off season, you can depend on frequent showers followed by long stretches of sunshine, with the resulting humidity tempered by northeasterly trade winds.
Before you tour the city on foot, take a trip to the top of 835-foot Morne Fortun , in the hills south of town, for a panoramic view of all the action. This hilltop was coveted by French and English troops during the 18th and 19th centuries because of its high vantage point over the coast. Fort Charlotte was started at the summit by the French in 1768 and expanded by the British over years of back-and-forth rule by both countries.
