What is the weather like in the Bahamas?

Question

im going to be traveling there in october. is there any hurricanes?

Answer 1

hot

sunny

i think theres a hurricane like every 2-3 years there

Answer 2

I've made four separate trips to the Bahamas and have spent almost 2 years there during those trips.  The weather is beautiful in the Bahamas in October...you should be getting out of the 'sweltering' summer heat and have warm/hot weather (between 75-85 degrees) with lots of sunshine and hopefully a nice breeze!  The hurricane season should be over or at least nearing the end, so there is not a high probability of a hurricane.  July/August/September would be the months to worry about that and even then, there are years where there are no hurricanes at all.  The rainy/windy/stormy season kicks in around January with more frequent cold fronts coming through.  

Where are you planning on visiting within the Bahamas because the weather may vary a little if you are going to Grand Bahama (north) versus the Exumas (farther south)...but there shouldn't be that much of a difference!  Here's a site that might help you out and as you get closer if you want detailed information (extended forecast for packing), check out the NOAA site.  I hope you have a blast...I know I did!

Answer 3

I went to the Bahamas in late November and the weather was wonderful (able to wear shorts and go swimming on Thanksgiving Day).  I think that hurrican season isn't quite over in October, but they're unpredictable anyway...

Have fun!

Answer 4

If you look at the average weather over time, you'll see that it rains about the same number of days in the Bahamas from June through October. But the total rainfall in October is quite a bit lower than June and August.

So yeah, it's technically part of the hurricane season, but on average October has done better than some other months.

Answer 5

Hurricane season runs until November 30th so yes, you will be there in Hurricane season

Answer 6

More than likely, since October is right smack in the middle of hurricane season.  You'll just have to check the weather a week or so before you leave.

Answer 7

it is going to start getting colder because of winter but it should be kinda warm but it will be raining so..

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
