Weather in February

Dry season December–May with steady trade winds; wetter and more humid June–November. Barbados sits east of the main island arc, so direct hurricane hits are rarer than further north, but Beryl (2024) damaged boats and fishing fleets.
- East coast · Bathsheba, Cattlewash, Scotland Districtbest weather
Windier and rougher all year; sargassum seaweed piles up on some Atlantic and south-east beaches in spring and summer.
