Bahamas Weather

[jesskuhmarie]

So it's looking like an 80% chance of thunderstorms every day of my cruise next week (Norwegian Sky on 5/4). Is this normal for the Bahamas. Should I expect it to still be mostly sunny except for a few short thunderstorms or should I be concerned about the weather? Obviously the forecast could change by next week but I'm just looking for experiences from people who have traveled there before with this type of forecast.

There was a storm the morning we arrived, not lot long after the sky cleared and it was sunny and 85. I think it's relatively common in Caribbean ports, just have a plan b in case of bad weather.

Weather forecast doesn't look good. Hoping it's still early :)

It doesn't look good but that's what I'm trying to figure out is if all this rain it shows really isn't as bad as it looks and it will really be sunny most of the day with just some thunderstorms in between (wishful thinking?)

 

Hoping someone who has seen a similar weather forecast before their trip can share how much rain vs. sun it actaully turned out to be.

Well, accuweather is showing a little better forecast....except for GSC day. But who knows, maybe it'll be amazing! Hey, we will still be on vacation, not at work!!!

I am on NCL SKY 5/8 sailing. Saturday 5/9 we're in Nassau and Sunday 5/10 in Great Stirrup Cay. I have done this cruise several times. We've missed GSC a time or 2 and I was devastated, especially since the weather did not seem bad. I would be soooo sad to have bad weather and miss it again. :(
