Weather
October begins the slow march toward better weather but still delivers uncomfortable conditions. Temperatures drop slightly to the upper 80s but humidity remains high. Rainfall starts decreasing, though afternoon storms still hit regularly.

All Months
November through April brings perfect weather – 75-85°F with low humidity and minimal rain. This is peak season, so hotel rates jump and flights from the US fill up. Book early if you're targeting Christmas or New Year's.
May and October work as shoulder seasons. Temperatures creep into the high 80s, but crowds thin out and prices drop 30%. You might catch a random thunderstorm, but they usually pass quickly.
Summer means hurricane season and serious heat. June through September sees 90°F days with crushing humidity. But hotel deals get aggressive – sometimes 50% off peak rates. Just watch the weather forecasts carefully.
Cruise ship schedules matter more than you'd think. Tuesday through Thursday sees 3-4 ships in port, turning downtown Nassau into a zoo. Bay Street becomes shoulder-to-shoulder tourists, and restaurant waits stretch long. Plan indoor activities or beach time on heavy cruise days.
