What is the typical weather pattern for Antigua?
Antigua enjoys a warm, tropical climate year-round, with average highs around 29°C. The dry season, from December to May, brings more consistent sunshine and lower humidity, making it the most popular time to visit. The wet season sees a higher chance of short, heavy downpours, often followed by clear skies. The island lies south of the main hurricane belt, but tropical storms can still occur between June and November.
How reliable are long-range forecasts for Antigua?
Forecasts beyond a week are general guides rather than precise predictions. For a bbc weather antigua 14 days outlook, expect broad trends in temperature and rainfall chance. A bbc weather antigua 7 days forecast is far more reliable for planning daily activities, as localised trade winds and passing showers can change quickly.
Does Antigua have a hurricane season?

What should I pack for Antigua?
Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential. Bring a waterproof jacket or umbrella for sudden showers, especially if travelling between June and November. Sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent are recommended year-round due to the strong sun and potential for mosquitoes.
Is the water warm enough to swim in Antigua?
Yes, sea temperatures around Antigua rarely drop below 26°C, even in winter. The warm Caribbean waters are comfortable for swimming, snorkelling and water sports throughout the year, with the calmest conditions often found on the sheltered west coast.
