Weather in Antigua - when to go? 20 Sept or 20 Oct better?

Question

hi all, I want to go to Antigua for 11 days. The point is I found information on the internet that in September the weather can be bad. Some hurricanes etc. I was planing to go 20 Sept. but I can reschedule this and go 20 October instead. Do you guys think I can easy go in October without any risk of hurricanes etc? Please help, I'm really confused as I don't want to risk my dream holidays. Thanks

Answer 1

September no doubt....most businesses wont even allow their employees to take holiday the whole month of Sep because the threat of hurricanes are so high..December is the very best time to go...

Answer 2

Hurricane season is from June 1 to Nov 30.

I would schedule your 11 day trip for October 20th. September is the worst month for tropical storms. Weather is unpredictable, I can't say for sure no hurricane will spoil your vacation but your chances are better than Sept. Always purchase travel insurance that covers weather, this way you won't lose any $$$.

We had a trip scheduled for DR a few years back and a hurricane prevented us from traveling. The airlines allowed us to reschedule with out fees and because we had travel insurance we didn't lose any money on lodging.

Relax and have a great trip but have a backup plan.)
