BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST



FORECASTS FOR THE BAHAMAS FOR TODAY, TONIGHT AND THE NEXT SIX (6)

DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 A.M.

EDT, Sunday, June 21, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE

ISSUED AT 12:00 P.M. EDT.



WARNING IN EFFECT: A Heat Advisory remains in effect for the Northern

and portions of the Northwest Bahamas (inclusive of the islands of

Grand Bahama, Bimini, Abaco and The Berry Islands). The public should

remain hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities and seek shaded

areas during peak heat hours.



GENERAL SITUATION: Weather conditions will remain somewhat unsettled

across the Northern and parts of the Northwest Bahamas today through

this evening, as mid- to low-level troughing combines with deep

moisture associated with a fragmented frontal system situated just

north of the archipelago. Elsewhere, a substantial plume of Saharan

dust, together with broad ridging, will support generally stable

weather conditions across the Central and Southeastern Bahamas.

However, hazy skies, very warm temperatures, and humid conditions are

expected to persist.



Outlook: Over the next few days, expect slight to moderate seas

across the chain of islands along with moderate to fresh breezes.

Winds may occasionally gust strong across portions of the Southeast

Bahamas by late Monday into Tuesday. Weak troughing and tropical

moisture will persist over the Northern Bahamas through Tuesday,

keeping showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for those islands.

Over the remainder of the country, a secondary plume of Saharan dust

and broad ridging will dominate, acting to suppress rainfall and

convective activity while maintaining very warm temperatures. By

Thursday, increasing troughing over the northern islands is expected

to raise shower and thunderstorm chances once again on Friday into

Saturday.



Severe Thunderstorm Risk: There is a moderate risk of a few severe

thunderstorms that may impact portions of the Northern & Northwest

Bahamas today. Residents are urged to remain updated on all severe

weather warnings issued by the Bahamas Department of Meteorology.



SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES:

Rip Currents: There is a slight risk of rip currents along

Atlantic-exposed beaches of the archipelago. Beachgoers are urged to

exercise caution.



Saharan Dust: Moderate Saharan dust concentrations are affecting the

Central and Southeast Bahamas and Turks & Caicos Islands, reducing

visibility and impacting air quality. Residents, especially those

with respiratory conditions, should take the necessary precautions to

safeguard their health.



UV Index: Members of the public are advised to wear protective

clothing and sunscreen, and seek shaded areas while outside during

peak sunshine hours (10am – 4pm), as UV indices are expected to be

in the very high to extreme range.
