The Bahamas Department of Meteorology has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the Turks and Caicos Islands, which is in effect from 10:20 am to 12:20 pm on July 17, 2025. A large cluster of moderate to heavy showers with embedded thunderstorms intensifying while moving towards and across the warning areas. These showers and thunderstorms are associated with a tropical wave moving south of the island chain. Some of these showers will be locally heavy and thunderstorms strong to severe at times, causing strong gusty winds, dangerous lightning, heavy downpours, possible hail, and possible waterspout or tornadic activity. Localized flooding is also possible during the passage of these storms.
The Saharan Dust Advisory previously in effect has been discontinued. Air quality and visibility have returned to normal levels. No further impacts are expected at this time.
The Turks and Caicos Islands National Weather Service has issued a Saharan Dust Advisory for the Turks and Caicos Islands. A plume of Saharan Dust will reduce air quality between Moderate to Marginally Unhealthy levels for Sensitive Groups across the Turks and Caicos Islands from 12 PM Friday, July 11th until 8 PM Monday, July 14th. People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children are the groups most at risk.

The Turks and Caicos Islands generally experience pleasant and consistent weather throughout the year.

The islands are located 550 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, just southeast of the Bahamas chain and just to the northeast of Cuba and north of Hispaniola.

Unlike northern countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, we do not experience the four distinct seasons here (i.e., Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). Instead, the climate is tropical with temperatures varying from warm to hot and one distinct wet season per year.

Main Characteristics of our Climate

May to October are considered the “hot” months, and November to April are the “cool” months. Although the average monthly variation between the “hot” and “cool” months is only about 10°F, this difference is definitely noticeable. Depending on personal preference, some may find that activities such as cycling, hiking and exploring historical sites may be a bit too exhausting during the height of summer.

The winter “cool season” months tend to see the greater number of tourist arrivals.

The wet season generally runs from May to November/December and coincides with the hurricane season; the dry season occurs from December to April.

Except for the occasional passing of a storm, the weather and conditions for activities on and in the water is typically excellent throughout the year.
