Bermuda
Marine geologists say that 100 million years ago, this hook-shaped chain of little islands was part of the lip of a huge volcano, now long dormant. The submarine mount on which we’re perched rises 15,000 feet from the bottom of the sea. That part of Bermuda that is above the surface of the sea is surrounded by a wide platform of underwater coral reefs that protect us from stormy weather. This shallow platform gives our inshore seas colours that you won’t soon forget – stunning blues and greens that lap at the pink sand of our beaches.
But in years gone by, Bermuda waters were well known for more than their beauty to the earliest navigators who had business in the New World.. The reefs were deadly to ships that ventured too close, and the wreckage of scores of ships dot our outer reefs as a result. Early seamen called Bermuda "Isle of Devils" for that reason. We take our name from a Spaniard, Juan de Bermudez, who paid a call in 1503. But the island remained uninhabited, despite visits by Spanish and English ships, until more than a century later.
Bermuda has a remarkably mild sub-tropical climate that seldom allows extremes of either heat or cold. Although, during the summer months, Bermuda is warm (up to 90°F in August) and humid, the Island is nearly always fanned by cool sea breezes. Between May and October, average temperatures range between 75° and 85°. During the winter months (December through March) temperatures average between 60° and 70°F.
It never snows in Bermuda. Rainfall is spread fairly evenly throughout the year, averaging a little over 4 inches a month. During the summer months, hurricanes occasionally pay Bermuda a visit. But our stout stone buildings and a Government infrastructure which is highly experienced in the business of preventing and repairing damage from storms have always kept Bermuda safe from the kind of damage sometimes seen in other jurisdictions.
