We were there last July also. We're from Ontario, so it seemed a lot like home. Very humid, and rain in the afternoon sometimes. Hot at home, hot in Negril.... but there's no ocean at home! There were a few evenings that we watched lightning storms over the ocean. It must have been raining in the distance, but not where we were. It went on for a long time, and was beautiful to watch. So far, we've been to Negril in Feb, July, and October. We havent found a time that we WOULDNT go to Negril. This year, we're trying May.
