Forecast

The barometric pressure in Castries, Saint Lucia varies throughout the year, influenced by the island's tropical climate. During the dry season from December to May, the barometric pressure tends to be higher, bringing stable weather with plenty of sunshine. In contrast, the wet season from June to November sees lower barometric pressure due to increased humidity and the possibility of tropical storms and hurricanes.

Castries is situated on the northwest coast of Saint Lucia and is surrounded by lush mountains and the Caribbean Sea. The landscape plays a role in the atmospheric pressure experienced in the city. The mountains provide a natural barrier, causing air to rise and condense, leading to more frequent cloud formation and precipitation. This can contribute to lower atmospheric pressure and the potential for rainfall, especially during the wet season. The proximity to the sea also influences the local weather patterns, with sea breezes affecting temperature and moisture levels.
