Best Time to Visit Bermuda (and Hurricane Season Explained)
This guide is general information, not legal, immigration or tax advice. Some links may be affiliate links. See our disclosure.
Bermuda sits in the North Atlantic, not the Caribbean, so it’s mild rather than tropical all year. It does lie in the path of Atlantic hurricanes. Here’s how to choose your dates.
Seasons in brief
- Late spring to early autumn: the main beach season, and the busiest time for visitors.
- Winter: cooler and quieter, and too cool for most people to swim. Good for sightseeing and for a house-hunting trip.
- Hurricane season: 1 June to 30 November, peaking from mid-August to October (NOAA National Hurricane Center). Check the Bermuda Weather Service before and during your trip.
Getting the best fares
FlightsFrom lists November as the cheapest month on the Heathrow route (flightsfrom.com). Compare direct BA fares with fares connecting through the US on Aviasales (affiliate link). Our London to Bermuda flights guide explains the trade-offs.
Travelling in hurricane season
- Insure at the time you book. Most policies won’t cover a storm once it has been named. EKTA (affiliate link) is one insurer to compare. See travel insurance for Bermuda.
- Choose flexible fares and accommodation you can change.
- Avoid tight connections in the US during storm season.
For a house-hunting trip
If you’re moving, plan the trip around your work permit and start date rather than the weather. Rentals move quickly, so a trip a few weeks before your move is often more useful than one months earlier. See visiting Bermuda before you move and renting in Bermuda.
