Most of the year the weather on St. Croix is downright boring....sun, sun, and more sun...and an agreeable mix of bright blue skies and fresh breezes. St. Croix's weather is controlled by the huge mass of the ocean which surrounds it, so temperatures change very little from day to day or even month to month -- although in the early Fall there can be the threat of tropical storms or hurricanes--and in the Summer months the direct Sun is quite intense. Daytime averages in the winter and night-time averages in the summer hover in the 70s. Warm summer days may reach into the 90s with averages artound 88, while occasionally chilly winter evenings can dip into the high 60s. But such extremes are very unusual. St. Croix weather does have a rainy season during September and October. July and August are quite hot in the direct sun; but tropical showers are famous for starting and stopping so fast that people barely have enough time to gather up their towels and scurry off the beach. Rain is actually welcomed during this time of the year. Trade winds blow off the water, providing a continuous stream of cool breezes best felt near open strips of beach -- and in higher elevations.
