BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST

FORECASTS FOR THE BAHAMAS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF
METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 A.M. EDT, Thursday, July 9, 2026, FOR TODAY,
TONIGHT AND THE NEXT SIX (6) DAYS. 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 Northwest Bahamas. Residents and visitors are advised to remain
hydrated, wear protective clothing, seek shaded areas and avoid
prolonged sun exposure during peak sunshine hours. (11am to 4pm).

A Dust Advisory is now in effect for all islands of the Bahamas, as
well as the Turks & Caicos Islands. Residents, especially those with
respiratory conditions, should take the necessary precautions to
safeguard their health.

A Gale Watch (34–40 knots) is in effect for the waters south of
Inagua, while a Near Gale Warning (28-33 knots) remains in effect for
the Southeast Bahamas today. Occasional gusts to gale force are
likely south of Inagua, with near-gale-force wind gusts expected
elsewhere across the Southeast Bahamas through tonight. Boaters,
especially small craft operators, are advised to seek safe harbour
and remain in port. For additional marine information, please view
our Marine Forecast on our website, met.gov.bs.

GENERAL SITUATION: The northern edge of a tropical wave, interacting
with a mid- to upper-level disturbance will increase the potential
for some isolated showers and thunderstorms across the Central and
Southeast Bahamas this morning as it continues to shift westward.
However, Saharan dust lingering across the island chain should help
to limit rainfall. The wave will continue westward through the day,
reaching the Northwest and Northern Bahamas by late afternoon and
evening, where spotty isolated showers may occur. Breezes will remain
gentle to moderate in the Northern and Northwest Bahamas, while fresh
to strong breezes continue across the Central and Southeast Bahamas,
with stronger gusts across the southeastern islands.
Outlook: A second wave is expected to move across the area on Friday,
sustaining slightly elevated shower and thunderstorm chances as the
mid- upper-level disturbance remains in place into the weekend.
Strong surface ridging returns by Sunday, bringing fair conditions,
warm temperatures, and moderate to strong breezes through mid-week.

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Rip Currents: Swimmers and beachgoers in the
Southeast Bahamas should avoid entering waters, due to the high risk
of rip currents and rough surf. Meanwhile a moderate risk is in
effect for waters in the Central Bahamas. Beachgoers are urged to
exercise caution when entering the water.
Coastal Hazards: Motorists and pedestrians across the Southeast
Bahamas are advised to exercise caution while traversing eastern and
southern coastal roads and shorelines due to possible overtopping
waves and sea spray, especially during the high tide cycle.
