The island of Barbados is just 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, located in the Caribbean Sea. Warm temperatures are typical all through the year, with monthly averages of 25°C or more, though the weather is changeable and can fluctuate considerably from month to month.

Visit Barbados between February and May and you can expect the lowest average levels of rainfall, starting at 28mm in February and slowly increasing to an average of 58mm in May. Temperatures average 26°C in February and March, and 27°C in April and May, with average highs of 29°C and average lows of 24°C, making these some of the warmest months in addition to being the driest.

In June, expect average rainfall levels of 112mm. In July and August, levels are slightly higher at 147mm.
