What weather to expect

As summer ends in many places around the world, warm temperatures continue in Barbados with daily highs around 30°C / 86°F.

Right in the middle of the rainy season, October is typically the rainiest month in Barbados. It's also one of the most humid. Despite that, there will be many sunny days with cooling breezes. There are rarely full days on rain and there's still an average of 8 hours of sunshine a day!

October falls within the Atlantic hurricane season but Barbados' position near the south of the Caribbean island chain means that there is a remote chance of a direct hit by a hurricane.
