Will it rain every day?
Rain in the daily forecast is usually no cause for concern in Barbados. It often means brief, light showers that quickly give way to sunshine. As a local, I rarely focus on weather predictions unless a storm is approaching. During storm season (June–November), it’s wise to stay updated, as storms can bring prolonged rain, like when Hurricane Beryl passed in 2024. However, sunny skies typically return quickly. Extended grey, rainy weather, common in places like Canada or Britain, is rare here.
The Dry Season in Barbados
Welcome to the Barbados dry season, a sun-filled period from December to May that attracts visitors from around the world. This is the busiest time on the island, so guests should be prepared for some challenges. It may be difficult to secure restaurant reservations and car rentals, and there may be longer queues at local markets. Additionally, the streets of Holetown may experience increased congestion. However, don't let that discourage you! The dry season offers beautiful weather perfect for beach activities, water sports, and exploring the stunning landscapes. Just be sure to plan ahead and make necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit during this popular time in Barbados.
The Wet Season in Barbados
Welcome to the wet season in Barbados, a time of lush greenery and occasional rain showers. Running from June to November, the wet season is characterized by higher humidity, warmer temperatures and an increase in mosquitos. While guests should expect some rain, it's usually intermittent and showers are typically short-lived, often followed by blue skies. In fact, some visitors find that the wet season is the best time to explore the beauty of Barbados, with vibrant foliage and fewer crowds. Introverts rejoice in the wet season. As an insider tip, we usually advise our dearest friends to visit us in April or November so they can experience the best of Barbados at lower prices.
