When to Go

The Bahamas is affected by the refreshing trade-wind flow generated by an area of high atmospheric pressure covering a large part of the subtropical North Atlantic, so the climate varies little during the year. The most pleasant time is from December through May, when the temperature averages 70°F-75°F. It stands to reason that hotel prices during this period are at their highest—around 30% higher than during the less popular times. The rest of the year is hot and humid and prone to tropical storms; the temperature hovers around 80°F-85°F. Hurricane season is from about June 1 through November 30, with greatest risk for a storm from August through October.

Whether you want to join it or avoid it, be advised that Spring Break takes place between the end of February and mid-April. This means a lot of vacationing college students, beach parties, sports events, and entertainment.
