These are daily means, not monthly totals: the lower figure does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate how often rain occurs, so visitors should still allow for changing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Philipsburg, Sint Maarten (Dutch part): Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, February / March is the relevant option to consider, with a monthly mean of 25.0 °C. If lower average rainfall is the priority, March records 0.67 mm/day of mean daily rainfall; this is not a promise of dry weather or a measure of rain frequency. Pack with changeable conditions in mind, especially for September, when mean daily rainfall reaches 4.03 mm/day. For daylight outdoor planning, June has the highest mean daily sunshine duration, 11.71 hours/day, while November has the lowest, 9.62 hours/day. These figures may help set expectations for average sunshine, but they do not promise particular sky conditions, and sunshine duration should not be read as day length. The temperature, rainfall and sunshine criteria point to different considerations rather than a single universally best time to visit.
