When is the best time of year to go to Barbados?

Question

Weather-wise...which month?

Answer 1

Any time you want. Because it's near the equator, the hours of light and dark are always about equal, and the breezes on the East Coast are incredibly refreshing. No problem with hurricanes: Barbados rarely gets in the way, and weather reports nowadays would provide ample warning.

Have a Sugar Cane Brandy for me.



My landlady, the beloved Mrs. Brown, used to quote a Bajan bit about hurricane folklore. No doubt it is true.



July - stand by

August - no fuss

Answer 3

Weather wise the best time of the year will be December - May. This is because the Hurricane Season is June - November. The season is at its busiest August - October.

Answer 4

Any! There is a rainy/hurricane season which is roughly July/August but we went in August last year and apart from one day inside due to a tropical storm (which was quite exciting) it was fabulous. It never feels too hot because the trade winds keep the island cool. I miss it already and am saving up to go back again asap! I'm so jealous you're getting to go.

Answer 5

Anytime. It's a beautiful island. Summer fares are cheaper. Look for a charter with an all exclusive and you'll save a lot of money. Hope you have fun.

Answer 6

I go at Christmas as it's incredibly warm and comfortable but with a cool breeze. Going to the Caribean in the summer months is just crazy as it gets ridicously hot but I guess it depends what you're afetr
