Given that rates are higher and places more crowded during the peak winter tourist season (mid-December to mid-April), the best time to visit, price- and weather-wise, is November and early December. The summer low-season (June to August) is also fine; but keep in mind that, if you plan to travel to other Caribbean destinations, some of them are appreciably hotter than St Kitts and Nevis during the summer.

Weather

St Kitts is warm year-round, rarely getting below 27°C (72°F) at night, rarely above 30°C (86°F) by day. Between February and May, the slightly drier conditions and decadently hot highs will trump your tropical dreams. Other months can get quite wet. Annual rainfall averages 140cm (55in) and is fairly consistent throughout the year. The driest months are February to June and the hurricane (and rainy) season is July to November.
