Bermuda Weather Service Forecast Discussion
For Saturday, August 08, 2026
21:00 UTC
FORECASTER - Anton Wiltshire
NOWCAST: This evening through Tonight
The Bermuda High remains anchored nearby which keeps mostly fine
and settled conditions over the Island. Upper level anticyclonic
flow also is dominant to aid the surface high in maintaining its
hold. The high for the day under ample sunshine was near 30.6oC/87.1oF.
Winds were light to moderate and fluctuated between NW and N which
should persist overnight, easing to mainly light while seas are currently
smooth to slight.
Warnings: No watches or warnings are anticipated.
AVIATION: VFR conditions are expected to dominate the latest TAF
with winds 320-010 DEG 5-10kts, easing to 4-8kts overnight and possibly
variable at times late night. No significant aviation hazards expected.

SHORT TERM FORECAST: Sunday through Monday
High pressure centred to the southwest on Sunday moves towards the
southeast into Monday all while keeping fine and settled conditions
around though a sprinkle or two is possible later on Monday. Anticyclonic
flow generally holds across the Island through the short term though
a short wave trough passes nearby on Sunday. Light NNW winds likely
become variable for a time during the day on Sunday before settling
WNW by evening and backing WSW late night. On Monday, mostly light
WSW winds back SW late night while increasing to light to moderate.
Seas remain smooth to slight.
WARNINGS: No watches or warnings are anticipated.
LONG TERM FORECAST: Tuesday through Wednesday
On Tuesday, high pressure slips further south which sees a trough
to the west move into the area to bring a few showers at times then
clearing for a brief reprieve before another trough nudges in on
Wednesday with more wet weather. QPFs in the long term range between
5-10mm. Zonal flow dominates the long term period though weak short
wave troughing moves nearby in tandem with the surface trough which
may provide the impetus to produce more organized showers. On Tuesday,
light to moderate SW winds gradually increase to moderate through
the day then veering WSW overnight. Moderate WSW winds on Wednesday
possibly with higher gusts in showers veer W’ly overnight. Smooth
to slight seas increase to become slight to moderate on Wednesday.
WARNINGS: No watches or warnings are anticipated.
