From Barbados to Anguilla, via Turks and Caicos, Trinidad and Tobago and Antigua & Barbuda, discover the climate of some of the most beautiful islands of the British West Indies, for a dream vacation in the Caribbean.


In the British West Indies, and more broadly in the Caribbean, the climate is typically tropical, moderated by the prevailing trade winds from the northeast.

The individual climatic conditions of each island depend on the altitude and local topography.

The region has two main seasons: a rainy season, from May to November, and a dry season, from December to April.

Most of the Caribbean islands are exposed to the risk of tropical storms between August and October.
