http://tinyurl.com/23p296 You should hopefully like this forecast.

The island is dry and has been dry. This is typical a dry part of the year and all is normal. If there is rain it falls mainly as a brief early morning shower. I am guessing you are looking at the forecast on weather.com which always predicts rain or showers. Where they get the forecast from I do not know but it is not correct.

if there is rain it falls mainly overnight, early morning, or in the form of a passing tropical shower, typically lasting 10 - 20 minutes. Dh and I usually just stay under our palapa or go into the water and swim.
