What you are reading: 8-year historical averages from the ERA5 reanalysis, not a forecast. A month that is historically 90% clear can still be overcast on your specific trip. For this week’s actual forecast, see the live Anguilla page. Both can be true at once: “historically strong in this month; this particular week is not.” We label which is which.

Sunshine-based metrics for Anguilla in November. Primary: % of days ≥ 72°F with > 6 h of sunshine.
Period Warm & sunny (≥72°F, >6 h sun) Sample (n)
Early November
1st–15th		 91% n=120
Late November
16th–end		 100% n=120
Full month average 96% n=240
10.7 h median sunshine per day 92% of days exceed 8 h sunshine 49% of days see ≥ 1 mm rain — rain is not hidden
Comparison (old vs new): WMO-code “clear” bar: 18%. Sunshine-based “warm & sunny”: 96%. The 78-point gap is from brief afternoon convective storms that stamp the whole day as “rain” in the WMO code but leave the bulk of the sunshine untouched.
