The climate of Paradise Island (Bahamas)
Paradise Island is a small island off the coast of New Providence. Or
rather: a former island since it is now connected to New Providence by
several bridges. The island used to be known as Hogg Island.
Everything on Paradise Island aims for tourism. The large and
exclusive Atlantic Paradise Island Hotel can be found here and is
among the most beautiful hotels in the world. Several Hollywood
productions have been filmed here; among them are two James Bond
movies. Several resorts, casinos and exclusive nightclubs can be found
here. You can also enjoy a golf course on this island.
Paradise Island has a tropical savannah climate. This is because of a
warm Gulf Stream and mild trade winds. This type of climate can be
divided into two seasons; a rainy season and a dry season. During the
rainy season heavy rainfall is not uncommon. Rain usually falls during
the late afternoon and the evening. The dry period is the most popular
among tourists because both temperatures and humidity figures are a
little lower. In this part of the world 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:
