Owning a Car in St Elizabeth

35Days a Year at 90°F or Hotter
101Nights a Year at or Below Freezing
43Inches of Rain a Year
8Inches of Snow a Year

Summers here bring about 35 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.

Lows drop to freezing on about 101 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.

About 43 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
