It should come as no surprise that on a visit during the 18th century, George Washington referred to the Bahamas as the "Isles of Perpetual June." With year-round sunshine and temperatures ranging between 80.6°F and 89.6°F, the Islands of the Bahamas are blessed with near-perfect weather.

The Bahamas benefits from a tropical maritime climate, which results in little variability throughout the year. Free from extremes, the average temperature during the summer is 84.2°F, while the average temperature in winter is 75.2°F. Evening temperatures are usually only five to seven degrees cooler. The rainy season in the Bahamas lasts from May to October and is characterized by heavy squalls or thundershowers that clear as quickly as they arrive. Hurricane season spans from the end of June to the end of November.

Although the Bahamas is continually blessed with weather befitting an island paradise, the absolute best time to go is between the months of December and March. With little rain and temperatures averaging in the mid-70s, the lovely islands provide an invigorating breath of fresh air.
