Curious...with the deep freeze

One of the things I like about Jamaica is that it is less affected by frigid weather systems than a lot of other places in the Caribbean region - such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, the Yucatan, and of course the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. The land mass of Cuba tends to protect Jamaica from what's going on in the North Atlantic. And Negril is even better than the north coast of Jamaica in this respect.

Don't tell people this! It will drive up tourism. It is so true though. The other side does not have nearly as nice weather as Negril. Found out the hard way by going to Runaway Bay in December. never again.
