Hello

I'm from the UK and would like to visit Antigua (Carlisle Bay, 5 days) and St Lucia (some place, 3 days) in early October.

Does anyone know what the weather should be like at that time - eg very humid or hurricanes? thanks

www.weatherunderground.com will give you an historical data base.

Obviously one must be aware of the risk of hurricanes in the Caribbean in October. That said, the chance of a hurricane disrupting an 8-day holiday is small. For me, the lower prices that can be found in October more than compensates for the slight risk.

Antigua, in general, has a lower humidty than St Lucia.

Enjoy the islands. :)

Thanks :)

There is also some good weather info for St. Lucia in October here:

Be sure to visit English Bay/Nelson's Dockyard on the south side of Antigua. The site was developed back when Admiral Nelson was only a lowly Captain. I also found the Anglican Cathedral and graveyard in Saint John's quite interesting.
