Climate & Weather Guide in Antigua And Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda has a warm tropical maritime climate with small seasonal temperature differences and a pronounced wet season from late summer into autumn. The islands are influenced by steady trade winds, which help keep conditions breezy and comfortable even when temperatures are high. Köppen climate classifications for the country are generally tropical savanna, with some local areas sometimes described as tropical rainforest or wet-and-dry maritime depending on the source, but the practical resident experience is consistently hot, humid, and sunny for much of the year. The main climate concern for expats is not cold weather, but hurricane-season rainfall, short intense showers, and occasional drought stress during drier months.
