The Caribbean is a region of the Americas consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. It is located southeast of Northern America, east of Central America and to the north and west of South America. The Caribbean comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays.

The "Caribbean" is named after the Caribs, one of the one of the dominant Amerindian groups in the region at the time of European contact during the late 15th century.

The geography in the region varies from one place to another. Some islands in the region have relatively flat terrain of non-volcanic origin. Such islands include Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, the Cayman Islands and Anguilla. Others possess rugged towering mountain-ranges like the islands of Antigua, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, Saba, Saint Kitts, Saint Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago.

The waters of the Caribbean Sea are home to large schools of fish, turtles and coral reef formations.

Climate - This mainly ranges between sub-tropical to tropical and depends a great deal upon location in proximity to the tradewinds that blow from the Atlantic towards the Eastern Caribbean islands. Normally hurricanes, which at times effect the region, strike northwards of Grenada and to the west of Barbados. September and October are considered the height of hurricane season, although the nominal season is June through November. During the November through January winter months; the prevailing wind is 15 - 20 knots from the northeast. On and off all winter, the famous "Christmas Winds" blow at 25 - 30 knots for periods of several days. Beginning in February and finishing in June, the winds move from a northeast direction to southeast when 10 - 15 knots can be expected. Late summer through autumn is the Caribbean's rainy season. However, rain squalls can occur at any time but are usually short lived. Average high temperatures range from 85°F to 90°F with the highest in July through October; average low temperatures are about 10°F less.
