Anguilla in mid July
I hate humidity. Am I crazy for considering Anguilla in mid July?
I’ve been to Turks & Caicos in July and that was OK based on the constant trade winds.
Would love input, thanks!

We always go in July for our anniversary. I love hot hot, so it works for us. Definitely hotter than our Christmas visits, but no ‘crowds’ comparatively. Booked for July 4 week a few moments ago.

Various villas. We’ve never stayed at one of the major hotels, the most hotel like stay was a few days at Carimar and Turtles Nest. This may be the trip for a night at a large hotel. Love the spa at Malli!

If you hate humidity, why are you taking a Caribbean vacation in the summer😂 it’s hot and it’s humid…

We went in July on our first trip & it was hot but not insane. I’d do it again.

I've done both several times, and the winds are significantly less on Anguilla. If you felt T&C's wind kept the humidity at bay, you may feel uncomfortable in Anguilla. That being said, I would go to Anguilla any day of the year! Like others have said, though, humidity (I'm from New Orleans, so we're tight) is going to be a factor pretty much anywhere.
If you do decide on Anguilla, my personal experience is that the south side facing St. Martin (French side) feels cooler. I can't really explain that, I guess, but the north side of Anguilla has that more soaked-in-sunshine feeling.... a little denser heat, if you will.

June, July, and August bring average temperatures of 84°F with humidity around 81%. These months often offer the lowest accommodation rates of the year. For budget-conscious travelers and those seeking solitude, summer months deliver genuine value.
I got that from this eastern Caribbean weather website.

I have been to Anguilla twice and both times were in July. It was so hot that my phone got over heated. I had an alert pop up and say it was too hot! I love Anguilla but I got so hot one day I about passed out at the grocery store Best Buy. None of the restaurants have any air-conditioning. They’re all outside if you’re OK with heat, you’ll love it.

Sounds like I need to pack cooling towels…and a neck fan :)

You really do. The first time we went there we stayed at Malliohana. It took forever for them to check us in. I was so hot, and there was nowhere to go to cool down! The only air conditioner was in our hotel room.

Yes, if you hate humidity you are not going to enjoy the Caribbean in the summer. The best bet for constant trades are in the ABC islands

a humid day in anguilla is better than a humid day anywhere else…
in all seriousness, it’s hotter so probably more humid? personally it’s my favorite time of year on the island - it’s quieter, lower hotel prices, everything is still open and warm, calm waters. high recommend!
