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.
The Bahamas are not actually part of the Caribbean because they aren't in the Caribbean Sea. But vacationers often think of them as a Caribbean vacation spot because they have much in common with other destinations in the region.
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.
The average monthly high temperature is about 84 degrees Fahrenheit and the average monthly low is 69 degrees, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The average high reaches its peak of 89 degrees from July through September and bottoms at less than 80 degrees from December through March.
The islands receive a higher than average amount of rain at more than 55 inches a year with an average of 12 rain days a month. At least seven inches or more falls from June through October, but the wettest month of all is August, which has more than 9 inches of rain and 19 rain days. In contrast, December through March experience less than 2 inches of rain.
January and August through December are the least popular months of the year to visit the Bahamas, while February through July are more popular, according to statistics from the Caribbean Tourism Organization.
However, cool weather and heavy rains make January through March, June through October, and the month of December the times when there is a higher risk of unpleasant weather. The ideal weather months are April, May and November.

The Bahamas is such a beautiful place to stay and spend your vacation. I think anytime of the year would be fine to visit Bahamas, just make sure that there's no hurricane.
