Anguilla Travel
When to go ?
In Anguilla the high season runs from mid-December to mid-April. Around Christmas and New Year it can get very busy on the island and prices can more than double. The hottest weather occurs during the hurricane season between June and November. The average annual temperature is 27°C (80°F). Most rain falls between August and November. If you want to avoid both the bad weather and the high prices you best visit Anguilla from mid-November to mid-December or in late April or May. In September some places are completely closed.
