Little Bay (Plymouth) weather in May

Forum posters consistently describe Pointe-à-Pitre itself as a working city rather than a beach resort town, generally recommending visitors base themselves elsewhere on the island and treat the city as a day stop. Posters flag real weather variability across Guadeloupe's two halves - mountainous Basse-Terre can see scattered rain while flatter Grand-Terre, where Pointe-à-Pitre sits, stays sunny at the very same time. Posters generally recommend having an indoor backup plan, like the Memorial ACTe slavery-history museum, for a rainy stretch. Given the destination's largely urban, transit-hub role in most trip reports, May here should track Guadeloupe's broader early-wet-season warmth and humidity, with Grand-Terre's drier microclimate a real practical advantage over the mountainous side of the island.

There isn't much Little Bay-specific forum detail, but Montserrat's general climate data shared on the forum shows the island stays wet essentially year-round, with July through November running noticeably wetter than the rest of the year - October sits right in that stretch. Rain here tends to arrive as a downpour or thunderstorm rather than a grey, all-day drizzle, and posters noted it doesn't cut into sunshine hours as much as a longer, steadier rain would. October also falls within the higher-risk window for an Atlantic storm, roughly August through October, so it's worth tracking the tropics alongside the day-to-day forecast.

Forum posters describe April as a great time to visit Montserrat, with temperatures commonly around 80F give or take a few degrees - warm enough that sweaters aren't needed, though pools can still feel a touch chilly even as the ocean itself feels great. Posters describe Little Bay's waters specifically as fairly calm despite Montserrat's broader reputation for strong sea currents elsewhere around the island, with good snorkeling accessible right from the beach. Posters generally rate Little Bay Beach as a pleasant, easy stretch of sand for a relaxed swim, framing April as comfortably warm without the more intense heat of peak summer.
