Bermuda in March
Not the best time
March offers a preview of better weather to come but still requires patience. The island starts waking up from winter hibernation, but you're still gambling on decent beach days.
Weather
March teases spring with slightly warmer days reaching 21°C, though nights stay cool at 16°C. The wind starts calming down but rain remains frequent with scattered showers. Ocean temperature sits at a frigid 18°C.

All Months
April through June offers the sweet spot – warm weather without the summer humidity or hurricane risk. Water temperatures hit the mid-70s, perfect for swimming, and hotel rates stay reasonable before peak season kicks in.
September and October bring another ideal window. The water reaches its warmest temperatures of the year, summer crowds disappear, and you'll get better deals on accommodations. Hurricane season technically runs through November, but direct hits are rare.
Summer (July-August) means peak prices and peak crowds, especially when cruise ships dock in Hamilton and Dockyard. But the weather is reliably sunny, and all water activities are in full swing. Book accommodations well in advance if you're visiting during Cup Match weekend in late July – it's Bermuda's biggest holiday.
Winter brings cooler temperatures (60s-70s) and occasional rain, but also the lowest hotel rates and smallest crowds. Golf remains popular year-round, and many restaurants stay open. Just don't expect to do much swimming – the water drops to the mid-60s by January.
