Været i Shoal Bay (Shoal Bay East) i oktober

Forum posters describe October as more comfortable than peak summer, with temperatures typically in the 80sF rather than the 90s and noticeably lower humidity, plus especially clear, vivid sunrises and sunsets. Posters are candid this still sits within hurricane season - the worst storm risk peaks in early September, but October isn't risk-free, even though the odds of a direct hit during any given week-long stay remain low. September through November is named by posters as the wettest overall stretch of the year, with October specifically cited as the single rainiest month - though actual experience varies widely, with one visitor reporting just about 10 minutes of rain across their entire October stay. Posters generally recommend late October as a solid, less-crowded window overall.

Anguilla-forum threads on March weather split on the wind: one visitor's early-March week ran extremely windy by day, choppy enough that Shoal Bay East got skipped entirely for calmer water elsewhere on the island, while a longtime regular calls the first week of March close to magic, just enough breeze to keep the mosquitoes and no-see-ums away without ruining the beach. Both camps agree on the temperature read - hot but rarely humid, one of the more comfortable stretches of the year to be outside all day. The general consensus lands on March as a strong pick overall despite the wind variability, with the caveat that a windy day can turn the open-water beaches choppier than photos of Anguilla's famously calm bays suggest. The record backs the wind read directly: 28.2C days feeling like 31C, 24.6C nights, 22mm across 8.4 days, a 26.1C sea, 76 percent humidity, 11.1 hours of sun and wind averaging nearly 30 km/h - genuinely breezy by the numbers, exactly as the forum describes.
