Hurricane season in the Bahamas runs from June 1 to November 30 each year. The peak period of hurricane activity usually occurs between August and October, with September often being the most active month. This season coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season. During this time, the Bahamas is at risk of hurricanes and tropical storms. The months of August, September, and October are especially significant for intense hurricane activity. However, outside the hurricane season, particularly from December to April, the weather is generally more favorable with less likelihood of hurricanes, making it a popular time for visitors. To summarize:
- Hurricane season: June 1 to November 30
- Peak months: August, September, October
- Safer months for travel: December to April
This period aligns with the broader Atlantic hurricane season relevant to the region.
