What weather to expect

There's a good reason that so many visitors come to Barbados during the traditional "winter" months in their homeland.... while it's snowing and freezing up north, it's warm and sunny in Barbados!

The nights are a bit cooler at this time of year, often dropping to 23°C / 73°F.

January is within the dry season, so you can expect that there will not be much rainfall. As the humidity is low at this time of year, the heat is not stifling at all.

January is outside of the hurricane season, so there is little chance of extreme weather.
