When to visit
For many visitors Barbados’s tropical climate is its leading attraction – hot and sunny year-round. The weather is at its best during the high season from mid-December to mid-April, with rainfall low and the heat tempered by cooling trade winds. Things can get noticeably hotter during the summer and, particularly in September and October, the humidity can become oppressive. September is also the most threatening month of the annual hurricane season, which runs from June through October, though it’s worth bearing in mind that, on average, the big blows only hit about once a decade.
