Hurricane season
1 Jun – 30 NovThe island's only runway, at 400 metres the shortest used by scheduled airliners anywhere, is the first thing grounded when the wind is up, leaving the Fort Bay ferry as the way on or off. Hurricane Georges destroyed the airport terminal in 1998. Source ↗

Quiet season
1 Jul – 30 Nov · usuallyOff-season shutdownEverything on Saba arrives by boat and every restaurant is small, so through the wetter, hurricane-season half of the year fewer of them open each night and the ones that do fill quickly. Rooms are at their cheapest, and the steep trail up Mount Scenery is close to empty. Source ↗
