Weather in October?

[Debbie]

Can anyone tell us what to expect from Carribean weather in October? What are the chances of rain or rough seas? Appreciate any responses from those that have previously sailed around the mid- Oct time frame. Thanks!

We have sailed the Panama Canal the last week of October, Southern Caribbean the first week of November and will sail again this same time frame later this year. You must know it is still hurricane season and yes they still happen at that late time. You will probably have a few showers move in and out, but rarely will the whole day be raining. Remember, the key word here is rarely! On our Southern Caribbean which was out of San Jan, I was so looking forward to lying out in the sun on our first at sea day. You know it, it poured all day! If you get lemons, make lemonade. Bring your best book, stop for a specilty coffee, attend a lecture or class. Just force yourself to relax and do something you never get a chance to do at home. Temperatures will be very nice sometimes humid depending on where you are stopping. If you need any hints on your ports of call, don't hesitate to contact me.
Bon Voyage

i have traveled a lot in oct..i have never had a hurricane problem,or had any rougher seas then normal,the weather is wonderful..go and enjoy!

We did the Western Carribean the first week of November 4 years ago. The weather was beautiful except on the "Carribean Night" - it rained for a little while so they moved the buffet inside. Other then that we had blue skies and beautiful temperatures.
