Forecasting Your Antigua Vacation
While they enjoy the same pleasant temperatures and sunny skies as their Caribbean comrades, Antigua and Barbuda benefit from lower-than-average rainfall and humidity. You'll likely find an ideal setting for sailing and other water sports whenever you visit. Of course, some storms and precipitation do occur, most often from June through October.
