August is inside the Atlantic hurricane season. A storm can change a port day or the whole route, so keep your plans here flexible.
Nassau in August is warm and sunny, with average highs around 91°F and lows that rarely dip below 78°F. August sees roughly 13 rainy days, so waterproof layers and flexible plans are wise. Showers are often short-lived but can be intense. Hot and rainy, hurricane risk.
It's the shoulder season in Nassau: fewer crowds than the winter peak, but the heat and humidity are at their highest. A light rain jacket and early-morning excursions will serve you well.
