    Bahamas Weather and Climate Overview:
    The Bahamas are slightly cooler than other Caribbean island groups owing to their proximity to the continental North American cold air systems. Required clothing: Lightweight or tropical, cottons all year round. Light raincoats are useful during the wet season. Temperatures average around 20°C (68°F) during the winter season, and 30°C (86°F) during the summer. Humidity is fairly high, particularly in the summer. The rainy season is May-October, when the showers are usually short but heavy. June-November is the official hurricane season. The climate of the Bahamas, although somewhat unstable, is very nice. You might want to schedule your vacation outside the hurricane season, of course, but the rest of the year is really delightful. The weather is pleasant in the winter season although cold fronts from the North American continent can bring strong north winds, some rain and surprisingly low temperatures. The summer months are warm and humid, there can be occasional thunderstorms. Because of the Gulf Stream, winters in the Bahamas are fairly mild, about 10 degrees F/5 C warmer than in nearby Florida. The summers can be humid, rainy and warm (day temperatures reaching into the low 90s F/33 C), but are moderated by trade winds. High season is from November to mid April, when the weather is generally good. Hurricane season is from July to October, and most rain falls at that time. There really is no bad time to go, but take along at least a sweater during the winter. Average day temperatures in fall and spring are in the 70s-80s F/23-32 C, with nights in the 60s F/15-22 C. Winter temperatures can be about 10 degrees F/5 C cooler. The Bahamas lies in the region between the sub-tropical and tropical climactic belts, and its weather and climate accurately reflect the country's physical situation. A good reference to the weather of the Bahamas is to consider it to be a maritime climate moderated by the north-east trade winds, with some effect from northerly weather systems in winter, and from southerly weather systems in summer. There are only two seasons in the Bahamas, summer and winter. In summer the tradewinds shift northwards so the Bahamas lies near their southern border, heavy with moisture. With even minor disturbances in this pattern causing rain, the summer is the wet season, bringing double the amount of rain as in winter. In the winter, the Trade Winds then shift southwards, making that time of the year drier. At almost any time, air masses from other directions can cause a change in weather. The skies over the Bahamas are a veritable mixing pot of air, and wind direction is variable, no matter what the season. Avg. Daily Max.

    Caribbean Travel Tips

    Luggage
    Mark every piece of luggage inside and outside with your last name and first initial only. Do not use a title [Ms.] Do not put your home address or destination address on the luggage unless your destination is a hotel or resort.

    Safe Shower
    When entering a hotel room for the first time, run the shower for a few minutes, without you being in the room. This will get rid of any build-up of spores that cause Legionaries disease.
