Best time to go to Antigua
The best time to visit Antigua depends on how hot you like your holidays. Believe it or not, January is the ‘chilliest’ time to go, with a nippy average of 25°C. By June and July, we’re talking early thirties. Tropical downpours aren’t uncommon in the Caribbean, and October is when you can expect most of them. But this island is known to be drier than its neighbours, and the humidity is a little lower, too. If you fancy a snorkelling session, hop on a plane in August – this is when the sea’s at its warmest.Passports and Visas
