Well, you just can’t mention weather and the islands in the same sentence without the topic of hurricanes arising. These deadly storms are officially a threat from June through November, although the greatest danger is during the later months, basically August through October.
A hurricane is defined as a revolving storm with wind speeds of 75 mph or greater. These counterclockwise storms begin as waves off the west coast of Africa and work their way across the Atlantic, some eventually gaining strength and becoming tropical depressions (under 40 mph) or tropical storms (40-74 mph). There are excellent warning systems that keep resorts on top of the weather conditions, though, so you’ll know about the possibility of oncoming storms and can act accordingly.
