I am visiting Bermuda March 26th to April 2nd. Is it warm enough to be in bathing suits on the beach? I was thinking this was Caribbean.
The air temperature at the end of March should reach about 70 F at midday. I’d personally feel warm enough in a bathing suit on the beach.
The water temperature will be in the upper 60s. Bermudians consider this too cold to go in the sea. I don’t. It’s a personal thing.
When do you think the water will get cold this year?
The ocean starts to cool down late October to mid-November. Look at the table above. You can see water temperature is reasonably consistent over the years. It is more predictable than other weather variables.
Going to Bermuda next week? How is the weather looking?
We have climate changes. Thanks.
How much the climate has changes in Bermuda, anyone have the water temperature updates?
