The Bahamas are a great year round destination, and because of their proximity to Florida and popularity as a short break destination from the USA, hotels tend to be busy for most dates, although prices will rise during peak periods such as school holidays. The average temperature is around 22C, the summer months are hottest, with temperatures from June - September getting into the low 30s, although these months are also the wettest of the year. In winter it is colder and less humid. June is a popular time for honeymoons in the islands, and many hotels have special offers to attract guests. The islands are in the hurricane belt, and through September and October, it is not unusual to lose a couple of days to stormy weather, although seeing the furious power of nature at her most destructive is an attraction for many people.
