Best Time to Visit Antigua

December through April is the peak season—dry, sunny, 25–29°C (77–84°F), low humidity.

Monthly Breakdown

• Dec–Feb: Coolest, busiest, highest rates; Christmas/New Year premium.
• Mar–Apr: Warmest dry months; Easter crowds; excellent sailing (Antigua Sailing Week late Apr).
• May–Jun: Shoulder—warming, occasional showers, better deals.
• Jul–Nov: Hurricane season (peak Aug–Oct); hot, humid, higher rain chance; lowest prices; carnival (late Jul–early Aug).

Recommendation

March–April balances great weather, warm seas, and slightly fewer crowds/rates than Dec–Feb.

Monitor NHC if traveling in hurricane season.
