The Bahamian climate is very pleasant, lying on the edge of the
anticyclone belt. The weather is particularly pleasant in summer,
between June and October, when it is cooler than the eastern
seaboard of the USA or in the Eastern Caribbean islands.
Unfortunately this is also the rainy season and the hurricane
season, which lasts from July to November.Although several
years can go by without a hurricane affecting The Bahamas,
occasionally one might hit, such as Hurricane Floyd in 1999, which
caused extensive damage to some of the islands. In winter, cold
fronts bring a greater variety of wind directions but it is still
pleasantly warm and dry. BAHAMAS
