Antigua in June

December through April brings perfect weather — 80°F days, 70°F nights, and trade winds that keep humidity in check. But everyone knows this, so expect crowds and premium prices. Hotels jack up rates by 30-50% during peak season. May offers a sweet spot — weather stays pleasant, but crowds thin out and prices drop. You'll catch the tail end of the dry season before summer heat kicks in. Summer (June-August) gets hot and sticky. Temperatures hit the high 80s with brutal humidity. But this is when locals vacation, so you'll experience more authentic culture. Resort rates drop significantly. September through November is hurricane season. Storms don't hit every year, but when they do, they shut down the island completely. Many hotels close for renovations during this period. Here's the thing about Antigua weather — even the "rainy" season sees more sunshine than most places. Showers tend to be brief afternoon downpours that cool things off. Sailing Week in late April brings yacht enthusiasts from around the world. Great atmosphere if you're into boats, but accommodation gets scarce and expensive.
