weather in the Bahamas in August

[sherylh]

Hello to all the future brides!

 

I am in the beginning stages of planning our wedding in Nassau, Bahamas. I am working with Anne Marie from Weddings in the Bahamas and so far it is going well. Has anyone had any experience working with her?

 

My fiancee and I have been going back and forth on our wedding date for weeks and have finally settled on August 22, 2013. I have been researching the weather out there, endlessly and have read many different things regarding the heat and rain during this time but when I spoke with Anne Marie she said that the weather has been very unpredictable lately and that typically although it is hot in August it tends to cool down in the evening and rain does not usually last for more than 15 minutes at a time. Given all this I am still really concerned about the date and I was wondering if anyone has some insight they would care to share that might ease my nerves a bit

 

Thank you!

Hi,

    Glad to see another Nassau bride!  Anne Marie (haven’t worked with her, but I’ve seen her work—BEAUTIFUL!) was right about the weather in Aug being unpredictable due to it being around hurricane season.  The last time I went in August the sun was a bit much for me to handle during the day (mid 90s).  When it did rain it was only for about 30 mins and the sun never went out of site.  I found the best weather in Nov/Early Dec & Late Feb/Mar (before Spring break-it becomes crazy crowded) due to little rain and low 80s temp.  I chose 12/14-alittle later in Dec than I would have preferred, but I wanted to coordinated other things.  I'm sure the date will work out, dont stress. :-)
