Bahamas are called paradise islands not only due to the azure water and snow-white sand, but also due to the fact that you can go here on vacation even all year round.

Accordingly, the low season in the Bahamas begins with the arrival of summer. At this time it becomes not only very hot, but also humid. The air temperature can reach up to +33°C. Due to the tropical climate, the air temperature here never drops below +17°C.
