Where's the sun -need everyone to cross fingers for burn off

Sunny and beautiful on the day we arrived and for two days after, but today, ever so cloudy. Finally got my trade winds, but at what cost? Could use a little help hoping some sun will appear later today, perhaps around sunset. Getting married in the rain isn't so bad, but it ruins all the images we had of standing in front of a beautiful sunset on St. John. One can't plan for the weather, but one can hope for it. Charlotte Amalie weather site says mostly sunny today - but not from where I sit off of Maria's Bluff. I know most people on this forum are happy and reporting all good things - and I want to be one of those people, but so need a little sunshine.

It rained most of April and a good portion of May where we live, the sun has been missing for a long time. I know the risk of rain this time of year is high in St. John, but so many said, often rain is predicted and sunshine prevails. So if anyone has a little in with mother nature - tell her to send a little sun our way, especially for today, but perhaps for a few more days. Its our first trip to St. John and would like to remember it as one where we enjoyed the adventures, not stood in our villa watching the grey skies go by.

Cheers!

Every morning we were there it was cloudy but it burns off. I'll think positive thoughts! Happy Wedding Day!!

Not sure about your wedding location, but as far as enjoying the sun on St. John...try another part of the island-it is very common to be sunny on one side and not the other.

Happy wedding day, regardless!

Hi sparis,

Where are you staying? Serenity? We are in Idyllic over by the Westin and we to are waiting for some sun. We got here yesterday late afternoon, and thought if the sun would shine anywhere, it would be at the Westin, they pay the big bucks to stay here.

Here's hoping for the sun later today!

Bert

I just checked Captain Brandi's daily weather forecast on facebook and he said the overcast stuff is going to burn off.

Best wishes to you for a wonderful wedding and a long, happy future with your new husband.

Thanks all - and CariBert - yes we are in Serenity. It was beautiful here Sun and Mon, though hot, but yesterday was a bit of a wash out and today, hard to tell.

Thanks to all for your good wishes and here's hoping that burn off does happen. I'll be on the north side of the island and I know yesterday while it rained hard here, the beaches had some blue sky and sun, hoping perhaps today shall be the same.

Cheers!
