I've been watchin the 10 day forecast for Nassau/St. Thomas/ St. Maarten and it's been 60% showers every day for weeks. Is it always like that this time of year there? Do they last? Or is it just the luck of the Irish?

I tried to find some historical weather for you; you may want to try this link; but appears that although it rains, teh showers are brief and the weather still warm. hope this helps

In all the times that we have been there, it rains everyday. Just a brief shower - maybe 15 minutes. It seems that it happens about 1200 - 1300.

I just find our favorate bar and have a beer and rest our feet.

It seems that it happens about 1200 - 1300.

I sure hope that's military time and not the number of daily showers.

Hopefully it is not the average rainfall in inches or feet

The 24-hour clock is a convention of time-keeping in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, numbered from 0 to 23. This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world of today. The United States and Canada are the only industrialized countries left in which a substantial fraction of the population is not yet accustomed to it.

cleveland rocks, we were just on the nov.11,2006 sailing of the glory and I did the same thing. I checked the weather daily for a month before and it showed rail everywhere and everyday. when we got there it was high 80s and very very sunny. don't let it bother or scare you as the worst case scenario is your still on a cruise and having a GREAT TIME. enjoy and don't let it worry you
