Winter Weather in The Bahamas

From December through February, daytime highs are in the low 70s. If you’re exploring during the early mornings or late evenings, you’ll want to bring a sweater or a light jacket as the breeze can be a bit chilly. Winter is perfect for golf, tennis, tours, and other outdoor activities! 

In the spring, temperatures begin to rise into the mid-70s, but days are still comfortable and mild. You’ll be able to enjoy a dip at the beach or in your resort pool, or head out for a guided tour without getting too warm. In May, you might notice the humidity beginning to increase, but the risk of rainfall remains low and the breeze feels refreshing. 

Things really heat up in June, when average daily high temperatures begin reaching the high 80s – and stay there through September! Summer visitors will want to plan lots of activities to help them keep cool (think beach days, pool swims, and boat excursions) and limit excessive activity to early morning or evenings to stay comfortable. During the summer, there are frequent (but short-lived) scattered thunderstorms, often in the afternoons. 

After a hot and humid September and October, November brings welcome weather – less humidity, comfortable temps in the high 70s, and plenty of sunshine and warm, easy breezes. With smaller crowds on-island and moderate temperatures all day long, late fall is perfect for outdoor activities like golf, tennis, and tours as well as taking in some of the pre-holiday events taking place throughout the islands.
