BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST
BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, TOMORROW AND THE NEXT SIX (6) DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 P.M. EDT, Sunday, June 14, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE ISSUED AT 6:00 A.M. EDT TOMORROW.
WARNING IN EFFECT: There are no public warnings in effect at this time. For marine information, please view our Marine Forecast on our website, met.gov.bs.
GENERAL SITUATION: The combination of multi-level troughing and abundant moisture streaming northward from the northern portion of a tropical wave near western Cuba continues to generate showers and thunderstorms across the Northwest and Central Bahamas. Some of this activity could become heavy, with thunderstorms reaching severe levels at times. This moisture plume is expected to gradually shift northward on Monday, increasing shower activity over the Northern Bahamas. Meanwhile, conditions across the Southeastern Bahamas are expected to become more stable as high pressure strengthens over the area, supported by the presence of Saharan dust.
Outlook: For the remainder of the work week, a high-pressure ridge will continue to build across the island chain, supporting hot and humid conditions, a few isolated showers, and moderate to fresh breezes over the Southeastern Bahamas. Meanwhile, light to gentle southerly winds will prevail across the Northern, Northwest and Central Bahamas.
SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Severe Weather Potential: There is a moderate risk of the development of a few strong to severe thunderstorms over portions of the Northwest and Central Bahamas. The public is urged to remain updated on all severe weather warnings issued by the Bahamas Department of Meteorology.
Heat and UV Index: Members of the public are advised to remain hydrated, wear protective clothing and sunscreen and seek shaded areas while outside during peak sunshine hours (11am – 4pm), as UV indices are expected to be in the very high range and heat indices may reach the lower triple digits.
Rip Currents: A slight to moderate risk of rip currents exists along Atlantic-exposed beaches of the island chain. Beachgoers, particularly those in the Southeast Bahamas, should exercise caution when entering the water.
Flooding: There is a moderate risk of flooding occurring in low-lying, flood prone and urban areas during heavy rainfall events. The public is urged to exercise caution while traversing these areas. Coastal residents are advised that there is a marginal risk of coastal flooding during evening high tides through to Thursday.
