The last time I experienced weather in August was way back in 2002 when my family and I stayed on the island for a whole month.
I was 14 years old then, and it all seems kind of hazy now...
I remember sweating a lot!

Shoal Bay, August
Since 2002, I have not stayed on Anguilla during such spells, but the rest of my family has.
They moved to Anguilla in August 2008, I only joined them in December, so I missed out on all of the sweltering weather.
Yuki says she would wake up drenched (I knew I remembered sweating a lot!). She even claimed that the water (still as glass this time of year) is far warmer than in winter months, being just about "room temperature" in August. I wouldn't have trouble dipping into that!
And on land?
It's hot, humid and the air just does not move...
Average High in August: 89°F
Average Low in August: 78°F
Average Temp. in August: 83°F
Average Rain in August: 3"
Despite the heat and humidity, many people still travel to Anguilla in August. Anguilla's Carnival is in August, after all.
Days and days of endless partying and celebrating?
I doubt our minds will be stuck on how hot the Anguilla weather is... ;-)
Anguilla travel tip: All you really need in August is a hat, sunglasses and swim suit!
