Climate in Barbados
The weather is mostly fair and sunny in Barbados, with daytime highs averaging between 75°F and 85°F (24°C and 29°C). These hot conditions are tempered by a cool, northeast trade wind. The dry season occurs over the winter months, from mid-December to mid-April and this is the best time to visit. Heavy rainfall can be expected between July and November, when short downpours are likely on most days, usually followed by sunny weather. Due to the island's easterly position, Barbados has a low risk of hurricanes, however Barbados can experience some spectacular tropical rainstorms. These usually last for short, heavy spells that dry up quickly.
