Best time to visit Bermuda: month by month
Short answer
May to October is beach season, with sea temperatures of about 25–29°C and air temperatures up to about 30°C. Bermuda is subtropical rather than tropical: from November to March it is mild at around 18–21°C, quieter and cheaper but too cool for most swimmers. The hurricane season runs from June to November.
