What are the conditions like in Antigua?
(TOP) Perpetually sunny with cooling North-East trade winds and occasional showers (roughly 45 inches of rain annually), the weather is almost always perfect for hitting one of Antigua’s incomparable, white sandy beaches. Temperatures range from an average low of 73°F (23°C) in the winter to about 85°F (30°C) in the summer. The island consists primarily of sedimentary rocks, chiefly limestone, but the southwest does have steep hills of volcanic formation – several over 1,000 feet – with Boggy Peak, the highest, stretching to 1,319 feet. Another feature of Antigua is its extensive coral reefs, which not only sustain magnificent marine life, but also protect the coast from erosion and provide calm waters in the bays. St. Johns, the capital, meanwhile, is a bustling city; great for shopping.
