In terms of tourism the island has two seasons. The 'summer season' refers to the months of April through October, when Bermuda enjoys its warmest air and water temperatures and sees perfect conditions for swimming, snorkeling and diving. It's also the most vibrant time on the island, with greater entertainment options and more visitors milling about. Midsummer is also the muggiest time of the year, and due to high humidity (which averages 84% in August) it can be a bit uncomfortable.
The winter season (November to March) is a bit too cool for swimming, and many tourist-related agencies, like diving companies and boat tours, suspend operations for part of the season. However, accommodation can be up to 40% cheaper and you can escape the crowds and the colder winter of more northern climes. The best conditions for windsurfing also tend to be in winter.
While the name might conjure up torrential storms, rainfall on Bermuda is moderate and evenly distributed throughout the year. While there is a slight drop in rainfall around April, temperatures in the proceeding months tend to rise comfortably above 25°C (80°F), peaking in August and taking the chill off the nights of the earlier months.
