  1. Antigua

    Antigua's hurricane season is June to September. Antigua and Barbuda is warm all year round with a soothing south-easterly breeze

    Peak of the season (since 1944):

    Most storms: week of 9/1-9/7 (4 since 1944 or 1 every 15.8 years)

    Most hurricanes: week of 9/1-9/7 (3 since 1944 or 1 every 21.0 years)

    Most severe hurricanes: week of 9/1-9/7 (3 since 1944 or 1 every 21.0 years)

    Graphs for this are in the second link below. The graphs below are the total number of tropical systems plotted which were passing by for each seven day period since 1851 or since 1944 through 2006. So it can be easily seen which part of the year is most active. Those tropical systems reaching hurricane strength are in red, and the 'big ones' (severe hurricanes, or category 3 and up) in purple.

    St. Lucia

    Due to its location near the equator, St. Lucia does not have very well defined seasons. There is however a rainy season that generally falls between June and November. During this season, visitors should be prepared for heavy, but sporadic showers that come on quickly. Visitors should not worry about traveling during the rainy season as the showers may come about quickly, but blue skies are quick to follow.

    St. Lucia is located in the hurricane belt and it is possible for severe tropical storms to arise. The hurricane season is generally during the same time as the rainy season, June through November. Visitors should be cautious, but not deterred from visiting St. Lucia during this season. With advanced meteorological technology, storm prediction and detection will help prepare visitors and locals on the island for any potential danger. Visitors can take measures to protect themselves by researching weather conditions before traveling to St. Lucia and prepare accordingly.
