Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Grand Cayman/Roberts Intl. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.

What is the weather in George Town right now?+−
82.4°F at Grand Cayman/Roberts Intl, measured at 13:00 local on Thursday, 12 November 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in George Town?+−
The archive held here for George Town, Cayman Islands starts in 1966, which is 60 years of record, and 34,399 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures George Town's temperature?+−
Grand Cayman/Roberts Intl (MWCR), 4 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in George Town's record?+−
The record runs from 1966 to 2026, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 28 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 40. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is George Town getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 39 Augusts between 1966 and 2026, the average August high at Grand Cayman/Roberts Intl has risen about 0.4°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does George Town compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 58th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 165th by the width of its annual swing. Charlotte Amalie, Dili, Asunción sit closest to it on that ranking.
