St. Lucia weather in September and October is the worst part of the annual hurricane season. The number of rain days each month varies as well from a low of 12 in April to a high of at least 20 days from July through November.he average low temperatures hover around the mid-70s. But it's the rainfall that determines the popularity of each month with visitors. St. Lucia weather in February through May is part of a regular dry season.
Mid to late summer offers a short window for the plants in this alpine community to flower. With luck, you might see the tiny, sticky fly-eating leaves of the sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) and catch the flowers of the small cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), creeping snow-berry (Gaultheria hispidula), and others.he sliding fen is a peatland perched on alpine bedrock at the top of bare slabs or cliffs. Sliding fens presumably become supersaturated from major rain events and slide off the cliff before peat build-up resumes (Sperduto and Cogbill 1999).
(Arctostaphylos alpina). Alpine bearberry Â© Veli Pohjonen under Creative Commons BY licence. Also known as mountain bearberry or black bearberry, this dwarf shrub is the County Flower of Orkney. Unlike its relative, the common bearberry, alpine bearberry is not evergreen; its toothed leaves wither and die in the winter. However, before they go they turn a spectacular shade of red-quite literally going out in a blaze of glory! The bearberries themselves are start green, turning red and finally black when ripe.
