Weather

Yes it does rain in Barbados. The rainy season in our lovely isle is from June 1 until November 1 and during that time (Hurricane season) we can be subjected to fierce thunderstorms. If you see the clouds coming don’t leave home without your umbrella.

Looking for that lovely tan? Even on overcast days it is still possible to get sunburnt so please don’t forget your sun protection even on days when the sun is hidden from view. The average daily temperature hovers around 30 degrees Celsius so pack lightweight clothing when you come to visit!

Driving

We drive on the left! While your instincts may want to lead you astray please remember that in Barbados we drive on the left. If you notice a local waving frantically at you as you merrily drive down a narrow street please check to see that you are on the correct side of the road and that you haven't inadvertently turned the wrong way onto a one way street. A rule of thumb, the passenger side is to the curb, unless you are driving a left-hand drive vehicle.

Appropriate wear

While we appreciate that you are on holiday and that it is hot outside please don appropriate clothing when you are conducting business with us. Beach wear is not considered appropriate for banking or shopping or even for cruising the streets of our main city, Bridgetown. Most restaurants allow casual and relaxed – shorts and T-shirts – during the day. However, there are some that expect more elegant attire during the evening.
