Best Time to Visit

The British Virgin Islands enjoy a tropical climate with steady temperatures all year round. The hurricane season usually runs from June to November, the wettest months being September and October. The best months to visit are from late spring to early summer, when weather is the most enjoyable and crowds are not as large as during the winter months.
