Antigua has a tropical savannah climate with a wet and a dry period. However, during the dry period heavy rainfall is not uncommon, chances are smaller though. During the wet period humidity figures will rise which may give you a clammy feel. During the second part of the year there is a risk of tropical storms and hurricanes.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
