Virgin Islands Climate:

Beautiful weather has always greeted our stays in the British Virgin Islands. The average day temperature is in the 80s F/28-32 C, and the night range is usually in the 70s F/20-27 C. The hottest months are August and September, when the day temperatures can average in the 90s F/32-38 C. There is more rain during the fall than at other times, but most rain, no matter what time of year, is confined to brief, intense showers. June-November is officially the hurricane season, though it's usually still a fine time to go (if you're worried that a hurricane might come through, get trip-cancellation insurance that covers inclement weather). Winter is about 5 F/3 C cooler than the rest of the year, and it's a good idea to take a sweater for the evenings in the cooler months: Trade winds blow continuously.
