Weather this October Weekend

[Motorhead]

We will be back in December for our 15th trip but have a friend who is going for a wedding this coming weekend. It's her first time and she is nervous because all of the weather forecasts look like a lot of rain. What can she expect for weather? How much sun? We got any local weather guru's that can lend some insight?

Thank you,
Motorhead

Forecasts are not all that reliable as it can be raining in the beach and sunny on the cliffs. My experience from this time of year is that, in the cliffs, on any given day you might see an afternoon or just before sunset shower - less than an hour. Sometimes the clouds look like they'll rain and they don't. Overall rain is not something a worry about anymore. If it's not a major system like a tropical depression, the rain for me has been typically infrequent to non existent.

Forecasts for Mobay can almost be disregarded if you're in negril, again unless we are talking about a major system.

We are headed into a time of pretty consistent weather... sunny, hot, humid, maybe a Christmas breeze.

Those living there now may have a better perspective than I.

What summer posted is typical to what you will see from most weather services, daily predictions of thunderstorms. As I said, this does not mean it will rain every day, or that there will be thunderstorms..or even rain....

I have been in Negril dozens of times with this type of forecast and not seen any rain. The forecast there does not seem to correlate with reality as well as we think it does where we live. It's a much more general prediction. Personally I'm not concerned with the weather at all and I'll be there tomorrow. Dont worry about what might happen. Don't worry until you get rain, and then, don't worry. Lol....
