Bermuda Weather

Weather

Bermuda has a very pleasant subtropical climate which is heavily influenced by the warming effects of the Gulf Stream and the warm humid westerly trade winds which ensure warm summers and mild winters. Summertime temperatures rarely exceed 30 Celsius, but the moderate humidity can make it seem even warmer. Winter temperatures average around 20 Celsius, with occasional cold fronts and storms. Because of its position along the Gulf Stream, Bermuda is prone to hurricanes at certain times of the year. Although these can occur at any time between June and November, most have occurred during the months of August, September and November. Visitors shouldn’t be put off by these natural weather patterns as they tend to be infrequent and there is more chance of a tropical storm pounding the US than Bermuda. The only source of fresh water is rainfall, which thankfully is adequate. By law, rainfall is captured from the roofs of buildings and stored in underground tanks often built into the foundations.
