The numbers
What the weather here is
France in South America, and the reason the European spaceport is at Kourou: 5°N gives a launch most of the Earth's rotational bonus, and the coast is cyclone-free because the Coriolis force is too weak this close to the equator to spin one up. The trade-off is 3,000 mm of rain a year and a wet season that runs December to July.
Where the official forecast is
This site is not a warning service. The official forecast and every watch and warning for French Guiana comes from Météo-France Guyane. During a tropical cyclone the advisory that everything else follows is the National Hurricane Center's.
What is on this page is the raw observation — the METAR itself, from the aerodrome named above it — with nothing added and nothing forecast.
