Average temperatures rise a couple of degrees in February. This is one of the most popular months to travel, so we recommend booking well in advance if you can.

Events & Festivals

• Antigua Sailing Week (April): The Caribbean's largest regatta. Centred around Nelson's Dockyard, it involves formal races as well as social events.

Visiting Antigua in May

May's average temperatures are one to two degrees warmer than preceding months. While average rainfall increases, it is worth bearing in mind that this is usually down to short, heavy showers, with the number of rainy days and the number of sunshine hours about the same as earlier in the year. Prices at this time are much lower than during the first quarter, making it a great value time to travel.

Visiting Antigua in June - August

These are the hottest months, with average highs of 30°C to 31°C and lows of 25°C to 26°C. The chance of short, heavy tropical showers increases, but sunshine hours and the number of days with rain is consistent with earlier in the year. The official hurricane season is July to November, and while the risk is very small, you might encounter some tropical storms. However, lower prices make it a great value time to travel, and you may be able to see turtles nesting along the beaches.

Visiting Antigua in September - November

Attractive offers make prices a fraction of those offered during the high season. Rainfall is highest at this time but usually consists of relatively short showers. Although there are heavy tropical showers, there are still plenty of sunshine hours. Turtle nesting season runs until November and the island landscape becomes more lush with rich green vegetation and beautiful tropical flowers. The official hurricane season falls between July and November, and although the risk of hurricanes is very small, you might encounter tropical storms.
