Climate
The weather is usually nice in the Bahamas :
clear sky, sunny, cool breezes help to relieve
the heat. Sea fronts may be cold from December
to April. Cool nights in June.
The hottest period is between may and the end of
August - it is during this period that most of
the rains fall ; however they will not spoil
the GMs' holidays because most of the time they
fall at the end of the
day or during the night. The climate is then
warm and damp.
From September to the end of November : the air
is dry.
The archipelago of the Bahamas can be hit by
hurricanes ; they generally occur in September
or in October but sometimes from August.
Temperature of the sea :
-----------------------
During Winter months the water is sometimes cool
: 20-22 °C /
68-71,6 °F.
In Summer the sea is very warm : its temperature
can reach 29°C /
84,2°F in August.
