The climate of Abaco (Bahamas)
Abaco is an archipelago in the Bahamas. This archipelago consists of

On several of these islands all kinds of resorts and hotels can be

world famous red and white striped lighthouse can be found. Several
National Parks can be enjoyed on the Abaco Islands, among those are:
Pelcan Cay National Park, Tilloo National Park and the Abaco National
Park. The most important city is Marsh Harbour which also is the third
largest island of the Bahamas. The Abaco Islands have three airports
and a golf course.
The Abaco Islands have a tropical savannah climate because of a warm
gulf stream and a mild trade wind. This climate can be divided into
two seasons. A rainy season and a dry period. During the rainy season
heavy rainfall is not uncommon. Rain usually falls during the late
afternoon or the evening. The dry period is the most popular among
tourists because temperatures are a little lower and humidity figures
are more pleasant. 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:
