Saba

Climate & when to go

Saba’s temperature averages 27°C (80°F) in July, but winter weather can dip down to 17°C (63°F) during the evening. With stately Mt Scenery covered in cloud forest, the island gets substantially more rain – 1m per year – and cloud cover than the rest of the Caribbean. Trade winds keep the island cool, especially at night, and blankets are a necessity even on some summer nights. Saba is the rare island in this region where a visit during July to September is actually pleasant, if there’s not a hurricane. The dry season is December to July.
