Bridgetown enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, tempered by consistent northeast trade winds that make the heat far more bearable than the thermometer might suggest.

The wet season brings frequent but often short-lived showers that rarely disrupt plans for long, though they do mean you'll want quick-drying fabrics and something waterproof within arm's reach.

Temperatures hover between 25°C and 30°C throughout the year, with nighttime lows rarely dipping below 23°C even during the coolest months.

Humidity runs high regardless of season, typically between 70% and 80%, which means natural fabrics become your best friend and anything synthetic will make you regret your packing choices.

The persistent trade winds are strong enough that lightweight scarves and unsecured hats become airborne hazards, particularly along the coast where most visitors spend their time.
