Question

What is the weather like in Barbados?

Answer

Be aware that the wedding will take place the last week of the windy season. This means it will be pleasant but still hot. We must be especially cautious of the sun. UV index reaches 10 daily and can get as high as 12 some days. Rule of thumb is to avoid the sun from 10am-3pm and of course always wear sun screen. After 3pm is the best time for being outside and events have been planned with this in mind.
