Barbados overview

Barbados weather forecasts

The balmy, tropical Barbados climate is cooled by the continual trade winds blowing in from the east.

The fresh breezes, warm sunshine, and sufficient rainfall make the year-round average daytime highs of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit (24-29 degrees Celsius) very comfortable.

Year round Barbados has days and days of glorious weather. Barbados is reliably hot with almost no variation in temperature. It hovers just below 30°C in the peak of the day and down to the mid 20s at night. Seasons are defined by rainfall and humidity.

The dry season, from December till May, can still see some rain but is, for the most part, dry and sunny. Rain falls in short storms that quickly give way to clear skies.

The average high temperature stays around 28°C which is kept bearable by relatively low humidity.

The wet season, from June till November, coincides with the hurricane season, and as such is much less popular with tourists.

Rainfall increases steadily to a peak in October, falling on most days in heavy storms. Rainfall is generally restricted to short downpours, sometimes causing flash flooding, that still allow for around eight hours of sunshine per day.

Adding to the negative side of this season is the slightly higher temperature, at an average high of 29°C, made to feel worse by increased humidity levels.
