Field notes
Tropical with steady trade winds keeping the heat workable year-round (25–28°C). Dry season (December–April) is the postcard window — bright sun, calm seas, lowest humidity. Wet season (May–November) overlaps hurricane season; Antigua sits in the main Atlantic track but has avoided major direct hits in recent years (Irma 2017 was the most recent close call). Late summer humidity peaks around 78%. Atlantic-coast beaches are breezier and cooler than the Caribbean-facing west.
