How cold does it get in TCI?

We are going to TCI the second week of Nov. I have never been to the Carribean. Do I need a sweater or light jacket for evenings or does it stay warm enough for short sleeves? Thanks

I would throw a light jacket or sweater into your luggage. Even during the winter months, it can be cool at night in the Caribbean, plus many restaurants have freeezing air conditioning. Have fun, and see you on the beach. We're going to TCI at the same time!

In November it's hot, including the water.
I don't think you need sweaters.

I go in December and still don't need them. It cools in the evenings in January.

Last November was mid 80s during day, 75-78 at night. Water temps where 78-80.

Hardly ever rains!

You often need a light sweater for the plane anyway so go ahead and take it. I needed one when we went to Provo in November a few years ago. I always take a lightweight sweater to the Caribbean, no matter what time of year we go.

We just went last week. I had a lightweight sweater for the plane, and though I brought it with me to dinner a couple of nights, I never needed it - even when we went out after it had been rainy all day. It just wasn't cool enough, but good to have something lightweight, and you can just wear on the plane. I also have a long-sleeved rash guard to protect from too much sun, just in case
