Better times to go
No month in Bridgetown hits the typical 18–28 °C / low-rain comfort zone — every season has trade-offs. Choose what you can tolerate: heat, cold, rain, or storm risk.
If you still have to go — what to bring
- Wet: Real rain shell (not a "water-resistant" jacket), packable umbrella, dry-bag for electronics, quick-dry layers. Pre-book indoor museums and food halls.
- Storm season: Buy travel insurance with weather-disruption coverage, build 24–48 h flexibility into your itinerary, and follow the local meteorological agency on social.
