Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high, from the same ten years of climate readings its page is built from. A dot marks a busy month. The last row counts the sweet spots, and the best months are marked.

On arrival

Apps — Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp. Nassau has no Uber or Lyft; take a licensed taxi (yellow plates marked TN), which charges set fares by zone, and confirm the fare before you set off.
Paying — The Bahamian dollar is worth the same as the US dollar, and both are accepted on every island. Not every taxi takes cards, so ask first, and carry cash for jitney buses and the Out Islands.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Getting around The Bahamas — Jitney buses run in downtown Nassau and out to Cable Beach from about 6:30am to 7pm. Pay in cash as you get off; have the exact fare ready.
Tipping — 15% is usual for waiters and taxi drivers, and $1 a bag for porters; many places already add the gratuity to the bill, so check it first.
Emergency — 911 or 919 (any emergency).
TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.

Every verdict here is the destination's own: ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. Nothing is said about The Bahamas as a whole that was not first measured at each place in it.
