Bahamas Weather

The climate in The Bahamas consists of just two seasons. Summer is from May through October when rainfall is fairly high. Winter is from November through April. Expect little rain and therefore low humidity.
Rain mainly comes in short-lived, intense showers accompanied by strong winds which are then followed by clear skies. The official hurricane season runs from June to November. But... The probability of hurricanes striking the Bahamas in June, July and August is relatively low. All hurricanes we have gone through from 1997 to 2010 occurred in September/October, with one in early November.
Don't think of the Bahamas as just a winter destination because... The Summer months are ideal for a vacation, too. The ocean is warm and most of the time it's calm. The cloud formations are often awe-inspiring. Really spectacular! The colors of the sky and water are intense and beautiful. It's an ideal time for snorkeling and swimming. Just make sure to rent an air-conditioned house.
Winters - November through May - are pleasantly warm. Cold fronts sometimes bring strong winds from the north, a bit of rain, and lower temperatures, particularly from mid-January through February.
