I knew I shouldn't have even checked it. There has been very little sunshine here in MA lately - we're ready for some UV rays! Do they get those "Florida" showers down there? You know, the ones that pour buckets for 10 minutes then stop?? I was last there in August - bright sun every day!

I remember the Florida showers during our summer trip. Our past three winters trips were very dry, drought dry.

No worries- we just retuned to the frozen tundra from a beautiful week- everyday it said "showers" but in reality it only rained 2 times during the day and once overnight. All three times for less than 5 minutes each. You'll enjoy plenty of sunshine to get your UV fix.

weather panic

Post by snorkelqueen »

I went into a panic looking at the forcast just before we left for St. John the first time...rain, rain rain!! Now we laugh because the forcast is always the same in July 30%, 30% 30% chance of rain. It is like Hawaii in the sense that it might pour for 1/2 an hour and then be fantantic the rest of the day. We found, at least in July, that the BIG RAIN usually comes at night.

40% chance of rain means a 40% probability that it will rain somewhere in the region. You just drive between the clouds. Rain in Cruz Bay? Sunshine in Coral Bay!

I'd be more concerned with the weather at home causing flight delays or worse.:evil:

The weather in St. John will be wonderful! 8)

have a great trip!
