I don't have any specific information on ST. Kitts. As far as hurricane season in general, you have a very small chance of a hurricane but September is the height of hurricane season. Many people from the north don't like traveling to the Caribbean in September because it is fairly hot and humid then. If you do decide to book in September, trip cancellation/interruption/etc. insurance is a good idea. Don't have any idea about ST. Kitts in particular, but many places in the Caribbean, many of the restaurants are closed in September. We love travelling to SXM in September, have done it many times, because we love travelling without a crowd, but St. Kitts MAY be deserted then, I don't know.

You can research the history and frequency of hurricanes for St. Kitts (and any other island for that matter) at www.stormcarib.com. Use the "Climatology" link then scroll down and click on "Hits & Misses". Then click on "St. Kitts (or any other island you wish) - you'll be directed to a chart showing the dates and intensity of every hurricane/tropical storm to affect the island since the early 1850's. FYI - if there are no storms brewing during your visit the weather can be quite nice in September. As Carol said, September is "off season" so many resorts, restaurants and tour operators are closed or operating under reduced hours or staff (or both).

St. Kitts holds a lot of fond memories for us, too, over several visits a while back, but sadly, it's been a while since we've been there.....too little time and too many places to see. And, truth be known, too little money to do it all might enter into the equation, too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
One thing that sticks in my mind is that St. Kitts is way different from St. Martin/St. Maarten - much quieter and far more reserved should that make any difference. It's green and lush and well worth seeing and exploring.
We had friends who went there after booking through one of the large but (IMO) more impersonal mall-type Travel Agencies.
They went thinking they might find an Orient Beach like atmosphere (but knowing there were no clothing optional choices) with all the activities, beach bars and restaurants along the beach.
They were very disappointed and let down but the truth is, they didn't do very much research and depended on the word of a travel agent who'd never been there herself. Had they but asked........... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
