When you’re blessed with year round sun­shine and blue skies, every day is sum­mer. Cool breezes, breath­tak­ing sun­sets and long, balmy, star-studded nights….Welcome to beau­ti­ful Barbados ~ Gem of the Caribbean.

Barbados is loc­ated very close to the equator. As a res­ult, we do not get much vari­ance in tem­per­at­ure. July, August, and September are tra­di­tion­ally our hot­ter months with a higher chance of rain. For the very best weather ~ hot sunny days with cool even­ings then the tra­di­tional Winter months are recom­men­ded. 

If there’s any sea­son to watch out for, it’s hur­ricane sea­son – which offi­cially stretches from June 1^st to November 30^th; but, while nature will take its own course, the prob­ab­il­ity of a hur­ricane is quite low. In fact, Barbados has not been hit by one of these tem­pes­tu­ous storms since 1955.

When’s the best time to visit? That depends on what you’re after. But summer’s good for a great time and con­sid­er­ably cheaper prices; and, as it’s the off-season, sum­mer in Barbados also means a quieter time – except per­haps for the few days of our Crop Over Festival, but that’s another story. 

Don’t take our word on the weather, check out some good weather web sites and see for your­self why Barbados is con­sidered the per­fect year round des­tin­a­tion.
