Forecasting Your Barbados Vacation
Like other Caribbean islands, Barbados enjoys warm temperatures throughout the year, though it can get quite hot during the summer. Even so, trade winds help to keep things pleasant. Isolated showers and other rapid weather changes do happen, so be prepared. June through November is hurricane season, but other than increased precipitation, Barbados is rarely affected by big storms.
