Traveller notes on Great Exuma in March
Other months in Great Exuma
Forum posters describe early August in Great Exuma as offering good odds for ideal boating weather, though it will be genuinely hot and humid, with rain typically limited to isolated 30-60 minute downpours rather than washing out a full day. Posters specifically flag late July into early August as historically a strong window, while noting the back half of August moving into September brings a real uptick in tropical weather risk as the Atlantic hurricane season builds. Posters are consistent that the odds of a direct hurricane hit remain remote for any given visit - the worst storms historically cluster in September, October and November - but recommend checking cancellation and refund policies and considering travel insurance regardless. Posters generally rate August as hot, humid and mostly good boating weather for Great Exuma, with rising storm risk specifically toward the month's end.
Forum posters describe February daytime highs typically in the mid-70s to low-80sF, dropping to the high-60s to low-70sF at night - a light jacket or sweatshirt is standard evening advice. Posters note cold fronts move through the northern Bahamas roughly 2-3 times a week this time of year, each one bringing a couple of cloudier, breezier, cooler days before conditions swing back to sun. Water temperatures sit in the upper-70sF - warm by most standards, though posters call it a bit cool for fully comfortable swimming compared to summer. Overall, posters describe February as sunnier than rainy in the balance, with genuinely comfortable, low-humidity air outside of an actual cold-front passage.
