Bahamas Climate - Temperatures - Average Weather
The Bahama islands are the most popular tourist destination in the entire Caribbean region largely due to numerous cruise ships that visit there.
They also are convenient to U.S. tourists because of the islands' closeness to the Florida coast, U.S. ports and U.S. airports
Eastern Caribbean weather is usually warm year round, but the Bahamas are the most northern destination in the region and have cooler weather during the winter months, making the night air and ocean swimming uncomfortable at times.
