Electricity in Haiti is limited and unpredictable, with frequent electric blackouts and limited supply during the day. Only about 46.9% of Haitians have access to electricity, and even the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, gets electricity only for up to 20 hours a day. Electricite d’Haiti (EDH), one of the large, government-owned electricity companies, provides about 5 to 13 hours of electricity per day throughout the country, and even this is subject to frequent disruptions in the fuel supply chain.
Haiti is a tropical island with warm, humid weather. Typically, the temperature ranges from 73℉ to 94℉ throughout the year, so you don’t need to bring any cold-weather clothes. There are two rainy seasons in Haiti, one from April to June and one from August to mid-November. If you’re traveling to Haiti in the summer, you’ll want to anticipate mosquitos, heat, and humidity.
