The climate of Saint John (U.S. Virgin Islands)
Saint John is one of the three largest islands of the US Virgin
Islands. The island is situated in the middle of the archipelago.
Saint John is the most exclusive of the Virgin Islands and is a famous
honeymoon destination. This isn’t surprising because the beautiful
nature and white beaches make for a romantic scene. Because Saint John
largely is a Natural Park there are many building restrictions. This
also is the reason Saint John has kept a small and protected
character. On the coastline many exclusive resorts can be found.
Further inland the rich and famous live in their villas. Most of the
beaches are part of the National Park and thus free for anyone to
enjoy and free from hotels and resorts. Trunk Bay has been one of the
most beautiful beaches in the world for years now. Caneel Bay is
restricted. This part of the island is private property and is only
accessible for the rich and famous who have their private beach here.
Off Saint John’s coast beautiful coral reefs are situated where you
can go snorkeling. Sea life in these reefs is truly amazing.
Saint John has a tropical climate. The temperature of the water is
pleasant at 25 degrees Celsius. Temperatures are pleasant all year
round with a cool sea breeze. Rainfall in Saint John is not uncommon
but showers are often short and heavy. August can be very wet.

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:
