GNU Free Documentation License How is the weather in Jamaica during late September early October? Q. I am leaving for Jamaica on Friday. I have been looking at the weather channel website and everyday for the next ten days it says scattered thunderstorms/showers and 84 degrees. Are there always chances of showers in Jamaica during this time? What are the chances it is going to rain the ENTIRE time we are there??? We will be in Montego Bay, not sure if that makes a difference. Asked by dmbate88 - Mon Sep 22 08:37:54 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's hot and at the moment the entire Caribbean area is subect to scattered thunderstorms or showers because of a weather system. If you look on this link you'll see what I mean -- the red blob. But it's also clear from the map that once the red blob has passed over the area (and its forecast to travel further north), the weather is going to be fine, because there are no other weather systems to worry about. Take lots of sun screen and stop fretting. Answered by Doethineb - Mon Sep 22 09:27:11 2008 What is the best wedding location in Jamaica? Q. My fiance and I would LOVE to get married in Jamaica. We have been looking online for places and a beach wedding would be nice, but also a wedding in the mountains looks absolutely breath taking. Any recommendations? Help! Asked by Waiting23 - Sat Aug 8 16:55:38 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. I've been working with a few companies. They work with your budget and help you get exactly what you are looking for. One is Miles Morgan: www.milesmorgantravel.co. uk. I found them by searching on yahoo for beach weddings. The other company i found by going to an expo in London. Next time one is on you should try and go- they are so useful. This company is called Travel Designers and the lady i am dealing with, Althea, she used to live in Jamaica, i think. She specialises in Caribbean weddings and she has found a wonderful hotel for us called Half Moon in Montego bay- the hotel is quite expensive but they are very willing to try and bring their prices down. I hope this helps, and if i can help with anything else, let me know.
