U.S. Virgin Islands / Weather

The US Virgin Islands have a subtropical climate and experience hot conditions throughout the year, the humidity tempered by easterly trade winds which whistle in off the Ocean most days. 

The seasons are not like the summer and winter of the northern hemisphere. Instead there is a dry season between December and May and wet season from June until November. The wet season will bring a slightly higher incidence of passing showers but it is not that noticeable. Calmer waters prevail between April and August, meaning that underwater visibility is at its best for diving and snorkelling. 

The US Virgin Islands do experience hurricanes from time to time. The most likely time for hurricanes is the middle of September but the season effectively runs from July to late October. Be aware that after a particularly bad hurricane hit, many hotels and villas may not necessarily be ready to open until several months afterwards.
