Bermuda’s climate in the first month of the year offers a mild respite from the harsher winter conditions experienced in more northern latitudes. Average high temperatures typically range between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius (mid-60s Fahrenheit), while average lows hover around 14 to 16 degrees Celsius (high 50s Fahrenheit). Ocean temperatures remain relatively warm, generally in the low to mid-20s Celsius (low 70s Fahrenheit). While sunshine is common, rainfall is also frequent, though typically in short bursts rather than prolonged periods. Visitors should expect some wind, a characteristic feature of the island’s subtropical climate.
This period presents a unique opportunity to experience the island with fewer crowds and often at lower prices compared to the peak season. While swimming might be less appealing to some due to cooler water temperatures, the pleasant air temperatures allow for comfortable exploration of the island’s natural beauty, historical sites, and charming towns. Historically, January has been a time for locals to enjoy the island’s tranquility after the holiday season, and visitors can partake in this more relaxed atmosphere. The moderate climate also facilitates outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, and birdwatching.
