Barbados is the "Little England"
of the Caribbean, but not so much so that the locals have given up rotis for kidney pies, or rum for bitter ale. Bajans,
as the islanders call themselves, are as West Indian as any of their Caribbean neighbors, and have tended to selectively borrow
rather than assume English customs.
During a period of low rain from December
til May the mercury usually peaks just under the 86°F (30°C) mark, making the conditions in Barbados at this time highly visit
worthy. Later in the year, the temperature gets only slightly warmer but rainfall is substantially heavier.
