Nassau in September
Not the best time
September combines the year's worst heat, humidity, and rainfall with peak hurricane season. Even locals avoid outdoor activities during this miserable month.
Weather
September maintains the brutal summer conditions with temperatures still near 90°F and suffocating humidity. Rain becomes even more frequent and intense, often lasting hours rather than quick afternoon showers. Hurricane activity remains dangerously high.

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.
