BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST

BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, TOMORROW AND THE NEXT SIX (6)
DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 P.M.
EDT, Sunday, August 23, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE
ISSUED AT 6:00 A.M. EDT TOMORROW.

WARNING IN EFFECT:
HEAT ADVISORY: A Heat Advisory remains in effect for the entire
Bahamas as well as the Turks and Caicos Islands. Residents and
visitors across all areas, especially in the Northern and Northwest
Bahamas, should continue to remain hydrated, seek shaded areas and
restrict strenuous outdoor activity between peak hours (between 11 am
– 4pm).

GENERAL SITUATION: Troughing near the Northern Islands will continue
to generate a few showers or an isolated thunderstorm through
tomorrow while Saharan Dust across the area prevents them from
becoming severe. The northern end of a tropical wave will pass near
of over the Southeastern Islands tonight and tomorrow generating
unsettled weather in the above mentioned Islands that will spread
across parts of the Central Islands tomorrow. Elsewhere high pressure
is dominating the weather across the remainder of the country.

OUTLOOK: Hot and humid conditions will continue across the country
this week, hazy at times as the plume of dust moves in and out of the
area. Another tropical wave will drift westward across the southern
Islands in the middle of the week, while troughing in the vicinity of
the northern islands, introduce moisture into these areas producing
unsettled weather through Thursday.

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES:
RIP CURRENTS: There is a slight to moderate risk of rip currents
affecting the eastern and southern shorelines of the Southeast
Bahamas. Beachgoers and swimmers are advised to exercise caution when
entering the water.

UV INDEX: Members of the public are advised to wear protective
clothing and sunscreen and seek shaded areas while outside during
peak sunshine hours (11am – 4pm), as UV indices are expected to be
in the high to extreme range.
SAHARAN DUST: The level of dust may reach moderate levels which could
impact air quality and hinder visibility at times across the Northern
and Northwest Bahamas. Residents, especially those with respiratory
illnesses, should take precautions to safeguard their health.
