Will it rain???

[Claire Warren]

I'm arriving in Castara on the 26th for 2 weeks.
What will the weather be like?
Some web sites are reporting rain - what does that mean exactly.
Will it be a little afternoon shower, rain over night or will I need my waterproofs???

Hi Claire,
don't worry! It was pretty hot for the last few weeks and a short shower now and then is most welcome. We had a few short showers from some clouds that build up over the rainforest during the day. They usuallly affect only a small part of the island and don't last longer than a few minutes.
Just make sure you don't forget your sun protection!

Thanks for that Patrick, We will be arriving on 20th May for two weeks,which I know brings us into the rainy season, but I too have been looking at weather forecasts and been concerned that it seemed to be raining a lot now! I hope the rain is not going to be excessive when we are there! How long do the showeres last for in late May?

Hi Linda,
Dont let a bit of rain put you off we were there last November and we had 3 days or really heavy stuff.
It's like a warm power shower!! nothing like the cold wet stuff in the UK.

Regards
Kevin
