When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.The single most underused destination in this report: south of the hurricane belt, semi-arid (only 450–650 mm rain/year), sea 26–30°C every month, constant trade winds. No direct hurricane hit in living memory. Sargassum essentially absent on west and southwest leeward coasts (Eagle, Palm, Druif beaches). The September arbitrage is dramatic — when Antigua and Punta Cana are at peak storm risk, Aruba is 33°C with 30°C sea and dry.
