When to go
The best time to visit the U.S. Virgin Islands is
from December to April, since it is the least hot period of the year and outside of the hurricane period; in particular,
January, February and March are the driest months. December can still be a rainy month, especially on the southern island of Saint Croix.
In April, there is a certain increase in temperature, and during some years, also in the intensity of thunderstorms, but overall, it's still an acceptable month, and in many cases, it is good.
In summer, June and July are generally not as rainy as August and September, and have also a lower risk of tropical storms and hurricanes, which, as mentioned, are most likely between August and October, that is, when the sea is warmer and has more energy to provide.
What to pack
From
December to April: pack light clothes, and possibly a scarf for the breeze and a sweatshirt for the evening.
From
May to November: pack lightweight clothing, and possibly a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for thunderstorms; a sweatshirt and a pashmina for airconditioned places.
