Bermuda's Climate

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Bermuda enjoys a sub-tropical climate. The average annual high temperature is a respectable 75 F, whilst the average annual low is 67 F. May to October are the warmest months with an average high of 81 F and an average low of 73 F. The coldest part of the year runs from January to March; seeing average highs and lows of 68 F and 59 F respectively. Although fine for golf and other land-based activities, swimmers may find Bermuda’s water temperature a little cool at this time.

Humidity is high all year round leading to mildew problems on clothing for residents (short-term visitors are unlikely to be affected). Rainfall is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year with no distinct rainy season. It tends to rain in short heavy downpours rather than continual English-type drizzle, meaning that it’s extremely unlikely that your entire holiday or even a whole day is spoilt by rain. Indeed, it’s a frequent phenomenon to find one part of Bermuda drenched in rain while other areas bask in the sun.

The official hurricane season lasts from June to November. Although not as prevalent as in the Caribbean, severe storms occasionally hit Bermuda. In September 2003 Hurricane Fabian lashed the island with 125 mph winds. Fortunately Bermuda only experiences major storms like this every 7 years or so.

I live in Bermuda and I tell you, always carry a little umbrella in your bag because the weather can go from clear and sunny to rainy and grey in the space of 5 minutes. I'm not kidding! Otherwise it's gorgeous and that only weather thing happens once a week or so. Rain doesn't last too long though, thankfully!

I would love to return to live in Bermuda anytime. I am Spanish and born in Dominican Republic, but lived in Bermuda for the 1st year of my life. Bermuda is indeed paradise.

That is if your are traveling or working there during the winter months. If your from a cold climate however, the cold days shouldn't bother you much and it rains much less then which is a plus.

I lived in Bermuda for a year from the U.S. Chilly is an understatement. It gets down right cold in February. On certain days from late January till March I remember freezing and I'm from New York. Not in comparison to the cold in the U.S. But the temperature drop is a shock when being used to such warm weather throughout the year there. I never needed the amount of clothing needing during the winters in the U.S. But gather up a few sweaters, some socks and a leather or suede jacket just in case. Lol.

GREAT PLACE FOR A VACATION. The weather is beautiful and the scenery is too die for.

The rain can be very heavy. It can come from nowhere. I've lost track of the number of times I've left home wearing my suit to go to work and it's been sunny so I've not taken an umbrella, and then arrived at the office completely soaked. One day I'll learn I suppose.

During the winter it can get a bit chilly if you are riding a moped, so don't forget a coat.
