What's the Weather Like in Nassau in February
The month of love is a great time to head to Nassau, with continued mild temperatures, low rainfall levels, and plentiful sunshine! Crowds are slightly less at this time of year too, which means you can get out and about without any trouble whatsoever.

Temperatures can often rise to as high as 25°C as an average high, before falling to around 17°C during the night. As with January, you will still need air conditioning to allow a good night's rest.
