The climate of Eleuthera (Bahamas)
Eleuthera is a long island situated in the eastern part of the
Bahamas. The island is 180 kilometers long and in some places only 1.5
kilometers wide. Eleuthera is an ideal holiday destination for those
who like beautiful and quiet beaches. The beaches are never too
crowded, so you can enjoy the azure blue sea in peace and quiet. The
advantage of a long island is that the beach is never far away. The
most important places on Eleuthera are Governors Harbour, Rock Sound
and Savannah Sound. The island has three international airports.
Harbour Island is situated off the north coast of Eleuthera. On this
island the oldest town in the Bahamas can be found: Dunmore Town.
Eleuthera has a tropical savannah climate. Eleuthera has a very
pleasant climate. Summers can be warm, but the constantly blowing sea
wind has a cooling effect. During the summer heavy rainfall frequently
occurs; it can be compared to taking a shower. The period from
November till April is the most popular period among tourists because
there is little rainfall then. Just like in the rest of the Caribbean
there is a risk of tropical depressions and hurricanes all year round.

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:
