The last month of truly reliable weather before the wet season kicks in. Good value with decent conditions, though you'll need to dodge some afternoon showers.
Weather
April marks the transition period with temperatures creeping up and humidity starting to build. You'll still get plenty of sunny days but expect afternoon clouds to roll in more frequently. Rain showers are brief but more common.

All Months
December through April brings dry weather and steady trade winds. Temperatures hover around 82°F with minimal rain. This peak season means higher hotel rates and crowded attractions, especially when cruise ships dock.
May and November offer the best balance — fewer crowds, reasonable prices, and manageable rainfall. You might catch an afternoon shower, but it usually passes quickly.
June through October is hurricane season, though direct hits remain rare. Expect more rain, higher humidity, and the possibility of flight delays. But hotel rates drop 30-40%, and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself.
Cruise ship schedules heavily impact Castries. The city transforms when 3-4 ships dock simultaneously, with thousands of passengers flooding the duty-free shops. Check cruise calendars if you prefer quieter exploration — Tuesday and Wednesday typically see fewer ships.
