Good to Know
- The dry season (December–April) is the ideal time for outdoor activities and sightseeing with minimal rainfall.
- Rainfall in Bridgetown often comes as brief intense downpours or thunderstorms rather than sustained rain, so sun hours are rarely severely reduced.
- Humidity is consistently high year-round, making the climate feel warmer than the actual temperature; trade winds help moderate conditions.
- While Bridgetown rarely experiences direct hurricane hits due to its southern position, tropical storm activity increases July–November; travel insurance is advised during this period.
- May is a shoulder month: rainfall increases but is not yet intense, and it falls outside peak hurricane season, making it a reasonable visit option outside high season.
