Climate

Barbados boasts approximately 3000 hours of sunshine per year, and the steady breezes keep the humidity low and the sailing fun. The rainy season on Barbados is between June and December, and there is just the right amount of rain here to keep things green and lush.

The weather is mostly sunny and fair in tropical Barbados, with an average of high daytime temperatures of 70 to 86°F (21 to 30°C). These hot conditions are tempered by the prevailing cool northeast tradewinds. The dry season occurs from January to May and the hurricane season extends from June to October. Hurricanes, however, usually miss Barbados. Instead the island experiences some spectacular tropical rainstorms. These are usually short and heavy spells that dry up quickly.
