Best Weather: Barbados,BVI, or Bermuda??
 
Which location would have the best weather potential in July or August? I'd rather not worry about hurricanes or too much rain. How about heat and humidity? Also, are bugs a problem in mid summer? Thanks!

I went to Bermuda last summer during the last week of August. The tempreture during the day was mid 80's to 90's but it's hard to notice it because the water is really cool (but not freezing) and the island always has a pretty good breeze. It rained maybe once or twice in the time span of a week but the island is so small the storm passes over in no time. Bugs were not a problem either. I loved it and plan to go back. If you have any questions about things to do and places to go let me know and I'll be glad to help.

Barbados rainy season...June-Nov.
BVI rainy season...May-Nov

Penny- Barbados is south of the typical hurricane belt and a safer choice at this time of year. The weather is nearly perfect year round - and when people talk about the rainy season, it means you'll probably have a passing shower once or twice a day. I've been there many times during the "rainy season" and I laugh at those that would rather stay home than risk a passing shower! Go for it!

Of your 3 choices, I would prefer Barbados at this time of year. We have gone 3x in sept, last in 95. Luis passed by as a depression, then stregthened and headed north to devastate the Virgin isles, Antigua, etc. A little rain on a hot afternoon is a great way to cool off anyway. <BR>
