Antigua

What's the weather like in Antigua in September?

Antigua is located in the West Indies where the eastern Caribbean Sea meets the North Atlantic Ocean. It has tropical weather as it’s just to the north of the equator and you'll get lots of hot weather if you're going in September. Easterly winds will help keep you cool and Antigua has lower humidity than other tropical islands, so you should be quite comfortable. It also has a lot less rain than other islands in the Caribbean so it’s a great option all year round. There’s a hot season from June to October when temperatures are a bit higher than the cold season that’s from December to March. The cooler time of year’s also the driest, and September’s one of the wettest months.
