Barbados Weather, climate and geography

Weather & climate

Best time to visit

Constant sea breezes cool Barbados's balmy, tropical climate but the island is still sunnier and drier than the other islands. During the so-called wet season (July to November), some brief rain showers are likely. Average sunshine hours per day are eight to 10 from November to March and eight to nine from April to October. Tropical storms and hurricanes may occur between June and November.

Required clothing

Lightweight cottons are advised; beachwear is not worn in towns.
