Daytime and night-time in June

The typical June day in Bahamas peaks at 28.5°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 30.0°C or more. About 100% of days top 25°C and 1 in 9 pass 30°C. Nights average 25.9°C; one night in ten drops to 24.5°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest June day here reached 32.0°C (2019-06-20) and the coldest night 23.0°C (2018-06-02).

Rain in June

Sea temperature in June

The sea averages 28.1°C - warm enough to swim (22°c+). Depending on the year it ranges from 27.6°C to 28.7°C. For the warmest sea here, come in August (29.7°C).

Sunshine and daylight

Around 5.0 hours of sunshine a day (estimated from cloud cover), 13.5 hours of daylight: the sun rises about 06:19 and sets about 20:00 local time in mid-June. Average cloud cover is 63%.

Expect warmth that stays with you after dark

The main consideration is persistent warmth, not just the afternoon temperature. Average night-time lows of 25.9°C mean evenings offer limited relief, while 79% humidity can make the heat feel harder to manage. Loose, breathable clothing is a better starting point than a suitcase packed for a British summer, and air conditioning is worth prioritising when choosing accommodation. Keep strenuous activity away from midday and leave room for shade and water breaks. Days reach 30°C only occasionally, so June is not usually about extreme thermometer readings. It suits travellers who enjoy heat, but less so those who need cool nights to sleep comfortably.

Leave room for rain rather than planning around clear skies

June is a wet month, so a tightly scheduled outdoor holiday carries a weather catch. About 15 days have measurable rain, although that does not mean those days are entirely washed out. There is around 5.0 hours of sunshine within 13.5 hours of daylight: long days are not the same as uninterrupted sunshine. Keep outdoor plans movable and have something to do under cover rather than relying on a dry forecast throughout your stay. A light waterproof layer is useful, but heavy clothing will be uncomfortable in the humidity. If dependable sunshine is central to your decision, June asks for more compromise.

Warm water is the strongest reason to go

At 28.1°C, the sea is comfortably warm for swimming, making June a good fit if spending time in the water is your main holiday aim. The recorded year-to-year range of 28°C to 29°C suggests little variation in that warmth, though water temperature alone does not tell you about conditions on the day. Pack swimwear alongside light clothes and rain protection, rather than treating this as a purely dry-weather trip. With a flight from London taking about 9 h 30 min, it is worth being clear about the trade-off before committing: warm sea and hot evenings, but rain and humidity to accommodate.
