Sosua/Scattered TStorms

it's hurricane season. hope for the best and expect the worst: usually scattered showers means that it rains only part of the day but you never know...
check Intellicast - Local and National Weather Forecast, Radar, Maps and Severe Report for weather in sosua area.

it's supposed to be summer season here in the UK, but that means nothing if the cold wind and heavy clouds is anything to go by.... hurrican season or whatever, matters not....

to the sosua residents, the forecast for the past week was exactly the same as described above, "scattered T-Storms" and illustrated by a dark cloud with rain drops falling from it and the tiniest glimpse of the sun behind it. Balls to the forecasters, did that accurately reflect the view from your window and the sun on your back last week?

There is a thread dedicated to detailing the weather in Sosua and Cabarete. That is where you will find an up-to-date description of the North Coast weather (and other interesting topics), reported by the lovely and talented LuvtheDR.

The on line forcasts have shown showers for the last week. So far all we have had is mostly SUN and two days with a late day/night time shower. So I would count on lots more sun then rain. At this time of year most of the showers are breif but can be very heavy. Days of rain on end are rare this time of year unless a tropical storm is in the area.

I think the forecast of rain for the north coast is standard - I don't think they can accuratly predict for the area imo.

I have been coming to the north coast for 4 years and always see rain in the forecast.

In the beginning it bothered me, but I soon learned that it was no real indication. Yahoo weather would call for rain every day, and I'd get there and you would have rain maybe a half day out of 7.

The only thing I MAY look at is the "averages" for a certain month when planning trips. It seems that your "heavy rain" months (the highest average isMay with 8.80 inches) can produce consecutive days of rain more so then other months. That's my limited take on it. I'm not a weather junkie nor do I live there full time. So take all that with a grain of salt....

or a lot of grains of salt then followed with a shot of tequilla :bunny:

A few shots later and the rain won't bother you....
