I am trying to find any information on the likely weather I could encounter on passage from Antigua to Bermuda in January, I have read the World cruising routes but it does not say what is likely at this time of year can you help?

Weather conditions between Antigua and Bermuda in winter can be quite bad, especially if you encounter a northerly storm, which is quite likely. If you really need to sail that route in January just mnake sure that you have a good long term forecast.

At the start, you should have NE or E winds, then possibly a lull, before running into W or SW winds.
