Barbados is the most Easterly of the Caribbean Island and covers an area of 166
square miles, with a population of 280,000 (Estimated in July 2006). The island
is actually an enormous and ancient coral reef that was formed around one
million years ago, and with its average of 340 days sunshine per year, friendly
inhabitants, well developed amenities and wonderful restaurants and nightlife it
is no wonder Barbados is one of the most desirable holiday destinations. The
islanders are called 'Bajans' and are mainly West Indian by descent, though the
island has ties to England from colonial days when the sugar industry reigned
supreme.

Climate
Barbados enjoys a tropical climate, with mostly sunny and fair weather
and an average daytime high of between 25ºC and 29ºC (75ºF and 85ºF). The
island enjoys approximately 3000 hours of sunshine per year, but these hot
conditions are countered by the cooling northeast tradewinds. The dry season
occurs from January to July. Hurricanes usually miss Barbados, instead the
island can experience some spectacular tropical rainstorms during August to
October, usually short and heavy spells of rain that dry up quickly in the
humidity. The climate lends itself to a casual dress sense, with cotton and
linen items ideal to keep cool. You will not need long sleeves, though some
hotels and restaurants have formal dress codes, particularly during the
Winter months of December to April.
