The climate of Barbuda (Antigua and Barbuda)
As to surface area and population Barbuda is the second largest island
of Antigua and Barbuda. The largest and only city on the island is
Codrington. In all about 1,500 people live on this island. As opposed
to Antigua the major source of income for Barbuda is agriculture and
fishery. The tourist who decides to visit the island should not expect
too much luxury. The island only has a few restaurants and shops that
mostly sell local merchandise. However, the beaches are stunning here.
Barbuda has a tropical savannah climate. During the second part of the
year more rain falls which causes a clammy feel. During the dry period
there still is a lot of rain turning the island green all year round.
Daytime temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius on average.

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:
