Question
Hi,
My family is interested in going to a Beaches Resort in the Bahamas.  Is there a time between August-December that is the best time for weather?  I have an infant and a toddler.  We would like it to be warm, 75-85 but not too much humidity.  Is there a time that is good for us to travel or should we wait until next spring?

Answer
Stephany,

The most refreshing time is between September through May, when the temperature averages 70-75F degrees. The rest of the year is a bit warmer with temperatures between 80-85F degrees.


The Islands Of The Bahamas have a temperate climate ranging from 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity in the summer months to 70-80 degrees in the winter. Nighttime temperatures are generally cooler by 5-7 degrees. In the more northerly islands, winter temperatures are approximately 5 degrees lower than the southern islands. Sea surface temperatures vary between 74 degrees in February and 84 degrees in August.

I hope this helps some.
