The climate of Saint Barthélemy
Saint-Barthélemy lies in the Caribbian Sea and is an overseas community belonging to France. Centuries ago Saint Barthélemy was Swedish possession for a long time, with which it has been the only Swedish colony in the Caribbeans ever. That is why you can still find the three crowns in the civic-crest of Saint-Barthélemy, which are the symbol of the Swedish army. The tiny St. Barths (only 21 square kilometers) is a popular holyday destination among the rich and famous. This is mainly because mass tourism does not stand a chance here, for larger aeroplanes than the small ones suitable for maximum twenty persons simply can not land on or take off from the very short runway of airport Gustav III. Therefore the tourists spotted on St. Barths are mainly American popstars, actors, actresses, models and other well-to-do people from the United States who stay in very luxurious hotels and sometimes extremely expensive private villas.
Saint-Barthélemy has a tropical monsoon climate with a drier season from December up to and including April and a wetter season from august up to and including november. The total annual amount of precipitation is approximately a thousand millimeters. Most rain falls in the shape of showers which mostly do not last longer than 10 to 15 minutes. With average temperatures of 29 to 32 degrees it is tropically warm throughout the year.
