Weather

The average monthly temperature is 27°C (80°F) in July but can dip down to 17°C (63°F) from December to February. Trade winds keep the island cool, especially at night, and blankets are a necessity even on some summer nights. Because of the difference in elevation, temperatures are a bit cooler in Windwardside than in The Bottom. With stately Mt Scenery known as a cloud forest, the island gets substantially more rain (1000mm/40in) and cloud cover than the rest of the Caribbean. The dry season is December to July.
