Field notes
Bermuda's capital on the main island — Hamilton Parish and Pembroke are the dense walkable cores, with Tucker's Town and the South Shore the high-end residential alternatives. Bermuda is structurally an isolated mid-Atlantic outpost, ~1,000km off the US Eastern Seaboard, which produces a unique gulf-stream-moderated subtropical climate (genuinely warmer than Florida in winter, cooler in summer). The Work from Bermuda Certificate (1-year, $263 application fee, no published income floor) is among the cheapest DNV applications in the region, but the structural cost is rent — among the highest on this list because everything imports. British Overseas Territory; English-default; no income tax.
Subtropical Atlantic — meaningfully more seasonal variance than the Caribbean to the south, but moderated by the gulf stream into a milder pattern than the US East Coast at the same latitude. Winter (December–March, 17–18°C average) is genuinely cool but rarely cold; summer (June–August, 25–28°C) is hot humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms. Hurricane risk is real and structural — Bermuda's mid-Atlantic position makes it vulnerable to late-season storms (October–November is the peak risk). Rainfall is well-distributed across the year.
