Jolly Harbour weather forecast - the first step before planning a trip
Many travelers flock to the beaches of Antigua during the high season, but vacationers will find something to do on the island regardless of the time of year. Travelers come to the island to enjoy Sailing Week in late April, to revel in Carnival in August, and to relax on a beach in December. Visitors to Antigua could spend a full year on the island and never go to the same beach more than once. Although Antigua's 365 beaches are reason enough to visit the island, travelers should research the island's seasonal conditions in order to make informed decisions about the time and duration of their stay. The high season in Antigua coincides largely with the high season in the rest of the Caribbean. Most travelers flock to the island from the middle of December to the middle of April, when the island experiences less rain, heat, and humidity. The colder winter weather in the United States, Canada, and Europe also drives vacationers in large numbers to Antigua. Despite the heavy crowds during these months, the tourist season remains a highly popular and appealing time to visit the island. Although the island is relatively dry throughout the year, there is less rainfall during the Caribbean winter. The decrease in rainfall is coupled with the end of the Atlantic hurricane season in late November. At the same time, cool trade winds blow in from the west to keep island temperatures mild and enjoyable. Restaurants, hotels, tours, and other services all run at their fullest capacity during these busy months. Travelers who want to take advantage of these extra amenities should consider traveling during the high season. Hotels often schedule more events and options for their guests during this time, and the large crowds invigorate island night life. Many restaurants extend their hours in the high season to accommodate a greater number of diners. With the increased business, hotels, restaurants, and recreation services are often booked well in advance. Travelers looking to travel during the high season should consider making hotel reservations several months in advance. Dinner reservations are recommended at even moderately priced restaurants during this busy season. Travelers who wish to avoid large crowds and significantly increased prices should consider traveling in the off season of mid-April to late November. While rainfall increases and temperatures rise at this time, Antigua remains relatively dry throughout the year, and the hotter temperatures are made tolerable by air conditioning and the trade winds. Airline fares and hotel rates drop significantly during the off season - sometimes up to 50 percent - making the increased heat a little easier to bear. The restaurants and golf courses that remain open in the off season have fewer crowds, making reservations less necessary. Shops also occasionally slash their prices, and travelers may appreciate not being shoulder to shoulder in crowds while they browse.
