BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST

BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AND THE NEXT
SIX (6) DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT
12:00 P.M. EDT, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL
BE ISSUED AT 6:00 P.M. EDT.

WARNING IN EFFECT: There are currently no public warnings in effect
at this time. For additional marine information, please view the
Marine Forecast on our website, met.gov.bs

.GENERAL SITUATION: Light to gentle winds, warmer temperatures and
possible afternoon showers, will continue courtesy of a ridge of high
pressure over the islands of The Bahamas this afternoon into tonight.

Outlook: A heat dome across The Bahamas will bring hot, humid and
sweltering conditions through early next week. Gentle winds coupled
with high humidity will make temperatures feel even hotter, therefore
the public is urged to stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor
activities. A break in these conditions may occur with a late season
cold front, forecast to move into the Northern Bahamas by Tuesday
(Election Day). This feature could produce showers and possible
thunderstorms, allowing a bit of a cool down in temperatures for the
Northern and Northwestern islands. Elsewhere, seasonably higher
temperatures will persist into midweek.

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Heat and UV Index: The public is advised to
remain hydrated, wear protective clothing and sunscreen and seek
shaded areas while outside during peak sunshine hours (11am – 3pm),
as UV indices are expected to be in the high to extreme range, and
heat indices reach into the upper 90’s into the triple digits.
