US Virgin Islands

Climate & when to go

The balmy temperature averages 78°F (25°C) in winter (December through March) and 83°F (28°C) in summer (June through August). Easterly trade winds keep the humidity lower than on most other Caribbean islands. The wettest months are August through November; rain usually comes in brief tropical showers. Hurricane season peaks in August and September. High season is December 15 to April 30; those willing to risk a little rain will find much better hotel deals outside this period. November, early December and May are particularly good times to visit.
