The climate of Crooked Island (Bahamas)
Crooked Island is situated in the south eastern part of the Bahamas.
The Islands of Crooked Island, Acklins Island, Long Cay and the more
distant islands of Samana and Plana Cays form the Crooked Island
district. Only the first three islands are inhabited. The airport on
Crooked Island is called Colonel Hill. Compared to the more northerly
islands these islands are still very quiet. For those who want to get
to know the locals in the Bahamas this is an ideal holiday
destination.
Crooked Island has a tropical savannah climate. Crooked Island doesn’t
get as much rain as the more northerly located islands, but it can get
just as warm here. During the winter it may cool down during the
evening. It’s best to be prepared and bring a warm sweater. The
hurricane season is from the beginning of June till November; the peak
seasons are September and October. Crooked Island isn’t directly
situated in Hurricane Alley, but some large hurricanes have caused
damage here in the past.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
