Weather
As in the rest of the Caribbean, the climate in the Bahamas is tropical. Temperatures are high all year round, with values ranging from 24 ° C in January to 32 ° C in August and minimums that on average do not fall below 16 ° C during the winter. Mitigated by the trade winds, the climate in the archipelago varies slightly between the northernmost and southernmost islands. In the north, rainfall is more abundant in the rainy season from May to October, and temperatures during the winter are cooler and the days are windier. In the south, in addition to low rainfall, summer temperatures are very high and the air becomes particularly muggy. From June to October, the Bahamas are affected by short-term afternoon thunderstorms, which, therefore, does not particularly affect your vacation; but towards the end of the summer, particularly between August and October, tropical cyclones and hurricanes can hit the islands
affecting the Caribbean area. The sea water is warm all year round, with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 29°C, warmer in the southern waters.The best time to travel to the Bahamas is from mid-November to April. In the southernmost islands, the summer months are also good, avoiding the cyclonic period of September and October. In the northernmost islands, in January and February, it may be too cold for a beach vacation.
Therefore, choose carefully the islands to visit depending on their location and the period in which you have decided to travel.
