We come in on Tuesday for a week, and the forecast looks rough. Rain, thunderstorms every day.. somebody ease my worried mind - OR - prepare me so I can get mind right and make the most of it... How was the last week predicted, and how did it turn out?
Every trip I have made to Jamaica the weather was predicted as daily storms. If you follow Jamaica weather during the year you will see this is pretty much the same forecast each day. I stopped checking the forecast and I just go and have fun. You should know at this point that even if it rains its unlikely to be an all day soaker anyways.
Just go and have fun! All will irie!
This is seriously true. Weather forecasting in Jamaica is less accurate than it is back home. It's difficult to predict one day in advance, much less 5 days. Good news is, the rainy season is largely finished. If it rains at all, it will likely be a brief afternoon shower.Quote:

And I told myself I wasn't even going to LOOK at the forecast - but my husband started checking it a few days ago and telling me about it daily, lol. Now he's got ME worrying.
It doesn't rain very long in Jamaica, and it's almost always less than an hour and most times under a half hour. Just go an enjoy yourself. My wife and I will be there for my 40th in a couple weeks! :)
I went for my 40th back in March! Not a bad way to welcome aother decade!
Rebecca, I have a friend that in Negril now, she posted a pic on facebook, and she has a beautiful tan. said a little rain here and there, but mostly beautiful!
No worries....and don't be one of those peeps on the beach that run for cover when it rains....go in the ocean and swim ...(unless it's lightning of course)........it's the best feeling ever!!!
Solid advice!
make empty Red Stripe bottles?
Just got back. It poured down rain in MoBay when I got in but no rain in Negril. You can see the rain clouds up in the hills and back east towards MoBay but hot and sunny in Negril have a great time
