Weather?
April 10 2017 10:33
I'm beyond excited for my trip in 13 days, so much so, I look at the weather?but is there really rain every day? My weather App (weather.com) shows 60% chance of rain for the next 12 days.
I've lived near beaches before, sometimes they say that but it's because of the possibility or a stray afternoon shower? Can someone tell me their experience?

My experience has been, even when they call for rain, it might be overcast, usually first thing in the am but then clears. There is sometimes an occasional shower somewhere on the island that passes quickly. I would bet that a very high percentage of your time there will be excellent! Have fun. And oh, sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen!!!! you literally burn bare virgin skin in 15 minutes in the midday sun!!!!!

Oh no! I'm hoping I get them covered, but it' won't be easy reapplying more sunscreen in front of everyone.

Honestly its not a problem at all. Just sit in your chair and apply, and nobody will look twice. It's a very relaxed chill place!

Has anyone been rained out before? Next week has several days with 70% rain and higher? That'll put a damper on things real quick!

We have not ever been rained out (will be there on Monday) but bring a deck of cards or two just in case.

Yeah, seems like not much nude weather, or at least nude sunbathing. I'll still be nude at my villa. Not many indoor activities, though. Guess I'll call for some massages?!
