All Months
November through April brings the best weather to Nassau — daytime temperatures hover around 80°F with low humidity and minimal rainfall. December and January see the most visitors, so book hotels early and expect higher prices. February and March offer the perfect balance of good weather and manageable crowds. Hurricane season runs June through November, with September and October carrying the highest risk. But here's what locals know — May and early June can be fantastic. The weather stays warm and sunny, hotel rates drop significantly, and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms that usually pass quickly, leaving the air fresh and the temperature comfortable. Water temperature stays warm year-round, never dropping below 75°F even in winter. Avoid visiting during Spring Break weeks in March unless you enjoy college party vibes. Christmas and New Year's bring premium pricing and packed resorts.
