Antigua is in the eastern Caribbean and is the largest of the Leeward Islands. It is surrounded by coral reefs and is mostly flat, but certain areas contain some slightly rolling hills. The volcanic side is on the southwest and contains the island's highest point, Boggy Peak.
The tropical seasons are "Wet" and "Dry," with overall warm and sunny weather year-round. Temperatures average 74°F in the Dry season from December to May, and an average of 81°F in the Wet season from June to November. The heart of hurricane season lasts from late August to early November, though strikes are rare and there is plenty of advance notice to prepare. When threatened by a hurricane strike, one should expect a 2-day displacement from evacuation to safe return.
