Climate

With Antigua the best weather lies between December and May, because these are the months that offer the least humidity, intense heat and mosquitoes. During these months it is very pleasant and calm, but like many other places in the Caribbean, Antigua is still prone to short sharp showers throughout the day with the wettest month being October.
