My gf hinted that there probably would be little chance of nice long sunny days while I was there over the holidays. The last 2 trips we got very little sun and the beach was a wash out both times. I was inquireing about going to Sosua again.....she said chances were poor for sun....is that the trend, little sun( meaning lots of clouds) in dec compared to the rest of the year?.......thanks...bob

is december a bad month for sun?
yeah it usually rains every day from november to january on the north coast, but mostly at night but often during the day. This year it has been much better than the two previous years.

See this link. Look under 10 day weather report and you can get a good idea.

Sorry Sky, WEather.com is not a good indicator!!! Weather here can change even when you are only a couple of miles apart. If there is a remote chance of a shower then it will predict showers! We have had many full days of sun where weather.com said otherwise.
It is correct that Dec tends to be wetter then other months. It quite often will be sunny early in the day and by about 3 pm it will start to cloud up and rain later on. Then you have those days that start and end with rain. Your odds of getting more rain are good! But, you will get some sun most likely. Think of all the fun youcan have in the rain!!!

Don't worry anyone...
Here in the beautiful province of Quebec (Canada) this is the forecast for the last day << >>>>
Sun (Yeah!)
Temperature minus fifteen degrees with wind from north-east 40 km (equal minus 30).
So if it rain or not... The last two years was bull**** meteo but I cross fingers for better weather this year,
7 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes and 33 seconds until December 26

South coast input
Here on the south coast there usually is more rain in December, but only as showers. The twoday/allday rain I remember from winter/autumn-Denmark I've only experienced once. And the showers usually don't start until after 2 in the afternoon.
It's very nice in the morning with clear skies and a slight breeze, so you should be able to get your part of the sunshine cake and don't get too charbroiled from it either.
If you insist on spending time on the beach in the afternoon, seek out a place near a bar and ride out the 5-15 minute showers under the roof holding your new love (Siboney Reserva Especial).:lick:

My experience with rain here in the North Coast:
Forecasts are to be taken with a grain of salt
While there are those few times when it rains all day, the rain will usually fall into a predicable pattern: generally, the rain will hit when the temp changes -- mostly in the early mornings and early evenings. Of course, it rains every Thursday evening at 6:30 sharp just to annoy us at Joseph's.
Normally, you get fairly good weather in December -- rain reports are mostly the morning/evening kind which is actually nice as it cools things off.
