Sunny Skies<\/strong>
\nYes that is a pretty typical day in Barbados! In fact the island has over 3000 hours of sunshine each year.<\/p>\n

Warm but breezy
\n<\/strong>With\u00a0 daily highs around 30C \/ 86F, you’ll certainly feel warm in Barbados but we are also blessed with cooling breezes so that it’s rarely unbearably hot.<\/p>\n

At night<\/strong>
\nAt night temperatures typically drop to 25C \/ 77F.
\nAny cooler and most locals will start looking for a sweater \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
