Moderated by trade winds provides a tropical climate and temperatures vary little throughout the year in The Virgin Islands, ranging between 32 °C/89.6 °F in the summer and 29 °C/84.2 °F in the winter.

The traditional music of The Virgin Islands is called fungi, also called "scratch bands" after the local cornmeal dish with the same name, often made with okra.
