    British Virgin Islands Weather and Climate Overview:
    Subtropical; humid; temperatures moderated by trade winds. January – June: 69.52 degrees F July - December: 85.39 degrees F Lying just over 1000 miles from the equator, the British Virgin Islands enjoy a balmy, sub-tropical climate, plied by variable trade winds. Temperatures rarely drop below 77ºF (25ºC) in the winter or rise above 90ºF (32ºC) in the summer, with the average temperature normalizing at around 83ºF (28ºC), with slight variations between seasons. Tropical weather found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is different from other patterns on the globe; therefore, our seasons do not have the sharp changes in climatic conditions as weather found in other areas. Seasons in the BVI fall into a harmonious balance with nature that has always led, in the past, to an agrarian lifestyle. There is a deviation of only two hours of daylight between the June, or summer half of the year, and December, the winter half. Sunrise from the autumn equinox through the spring equinox normally occurs at approximately 6:00 am, with sunset at approximately 5:50 pm. During the spring to autumn equinox, the daylight hours lengthen a bit bringing summer sunrises at approximately 5:00 am, with sunsets at around 7:00 pm. Rainfall in the BVI averages at 40 inches per year with 60% - 70% falling during the months of April through October. Rainfall 48.38 mm in (1999); the wettest months are from September to December; February to April are the driest. Winter Season – December through March While North America and most of Europe are locked in the icy grip of winter, the BVI enjoys airy trade winds and plentiful sunshine. During the winter, temperatures in the BVI will range between 72°F (22°C) and 82°F (28°C). Located at a latitude of 18 degrees north and a longitude of 65 degrees west, our islands are subject to easterly trade winds named for the direction from which they begin. These winds are called “trades” because originally they brought clipper ships filled with goods from Europe and Africa to the BVI and other areas of the Caribbean and North America. In the winter our stable weather pattern is broken when depressions move across the southern United States and exit on the Eastern Florida coast into the Northern Atlantic. These depressions do not normally enter the Caribbean directly, but have a trailing cold front that reaches as far east as the BVI and occasionally, well beyond. When strong high-pressure centres are located in the North Atlantic, they cause what sailors call the “Christmas Winds” and windy gusts can reach over 20 knots. Later, winter and spring winds will then ease back into trade winds with an ESE or SE direction and blow between 15 and 20 knots with seasonal gusts. Spring Season – April through June From the middle of April through the remainder of the year, the winter trade winds begin to moderate and we experience a slow increase in daytime temperatures. Daytime highs range from 90°F (32°C), with night time temperatures varying only ten degrees lower at approximately 80F (27°C) with a 20% chance of brief showers. At this time, the these islands take on a fresh green lushness that announces the arrival of a new season. Spring represents an excellent time for snorkelling and diving as the wave action is greatly reduced from the “Christmas Winds” occurring in winter. Summer Season – July through September During the summer, daytime temperatures usually range between 80°F (27°C) and 95°F (32°C). The nights are typically cooler with temperature ranging usually in the low 80s F (27°C). July to December is the wet season when the territory gets most of its average monthly rainfall of 4” (110 mm). Summer winds move in an ESE direction at approximately 10 -12 knots. It is from these gentle breezes during the non-winter seasons, that the Sir Francis Drake Channel gets its nickname of “The Bathtub” – meaning gentle winds for sailors. Autumn Season – September through November September is among the warmest of months when the day temperatures can average in the 90s F (32-38°C) dropping to 75 - 80°F (25-27°C) at night. As the warmest time of year, daytime highs can reach 95°F (35°C) and over but nights normally remain comfortable. Winds during this season will average 10 - 20 knots, from an easterly direction, providing excellent sailing conditions and cool night ventilation. Short localized rain showers may pass over but they rarely last for more than 30 minutes. The peak tourist season is December to May, but this has more to do with the weather in North America and Europe than it does with the reliably balmy Virgin Islands weather. It's therefore best to visit outside this period, when you can expect room rates to be about two-thirds of those charged during the busier months. An additional draw is that the calmer weather between April and August tends to keep the waters clearer for diving.

    Caribbean Travel Tips

    Bag it
    Bag it. Plastic bags -- for everything from toiletries to shoes to aerosol cans -- have prevented many a suitcase fiasco.

    Preparation for Your Trip
    Start Early. If a passport is required for you to enter the country where you are planning to travel, apply for it as soon as possible. Learn about the countries you plan to visit. Before departing, read up on the culture and people for the places you will travel. As you travel, keep abreast of local news coverage. If you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, if you will be staying more than two weeks in an area, or if you are going to a place where ... more
