The islands of Antigua and Barbuda are tropically warm all year round, with only slight variations in temperature. Due to its location within the Windward Islands, this island state has two seasons. The drier season is the best time to travel to Antigua and Barbuda. This is from late December or early January to late May. The time when the drier season starts can vary from year to year. Therefore, we are a little cautious about the start of the best travel season. From June onwards, the surcharge increases and the wetter season begins, lasting until mid-December. Some speak of a rainy season, but if you look at the intensity and duration of the showers, that qualification is actually a bit too much of a good thing.
