Default OH SHIT! The weather?!?!

I am getting ready to head to TR on Sunday morning and I just happened to look at The Weather Channel.com. I know I shouldnt have done that because it shows that April so far has been hot and wonderful and then RIGHT when we are suposed to arrive it says thunderstorms and mid 70's ALL WEEK! This really upsets me. Someone please tell me that the weather channel is usually wrong.. or some kind of words of encouragement, because now I am a lot less excited. Weather is really important to me, I know there are a lot of other thing to do there but I am a lover of the water and I like it to be as hot as possible.

I just looked, and did not look that bad to me. A little cooler, but not much chance of rain. 20% chance of rain in Cancun is like 5% chance of rain in STL. Will probably be almost 80 on the coolest days, and normal on the others.

I always use accuweather.com as it seems more accurate (and from looking at the next two weeks the forecast looks pretty nice).

Sunday, Apr 13 A thunderstorm possible Low: 69 °F High: 85 °F
Monday, Apr 14 Times of clouds and sun Low: 54 °F High: 84 °F
Tuesday, Apr 15 Partly sunny and pleasant Low: 56 °F High: 83 °F
Wednesday, Apr 16 Partly sunny and beautiful Low: 59 °F High: 84 °F
Thursday, Apr 17 Intervals of clouds and sun Low: 62 °F High: 85 °F
Friday, Apr 18 Mostly sunny Low: 67 °F High: 85 °F
Saturday, Apr 19 Sunshine Low: 68 °F High: 86 °F

That's 30 degrees Celsius for all the folks from the USA...the equivalent in Fahrenheit is approximately 85 degrees!

Sorry, Jen and Todd...thought I'd clarify your post for those who are not on the metric system (yet... :lol: )

Cheers,
Janice

I was there from March 28 - April 6. It rained twice,. 5 minutes each time. It was absolutely gorgeous the rest of the time. In the 80's. Wish I was back there right now.

We've been real lucky over the years with it hardly ever raining. Though this year (last week in Feb.) we had a day that was very cool & windy & gloomy. Hardly anyone at the sexy pool, however the games still went on. Many people had pants & sweatshirts on. Thought this would be a good day to lay low & recover. Didn't work...... still got drunk :stevehastoomuchvodka: :beerdrink:

:lol: okay, for those of you who are worried about the weather, I am not trying to make things less than what the may be BUT HONESTLY, when we were slated to go, it also was calling for rain, and even when we were there it said it was RAINING! and it was HOT!! I do not know who does the weather for Cancun, but man, I think they are all wonky! it was nothing but blue skies and hot the whole week we were there, even the two days the weather channel said it was raining!!! CRAZY, hey? Like I am talking above 30 degrees hot, excellent vacation weather.

Don't sweat it, you will have time for that when you are there!

p.s. and if it does rain a day, I suggest going into town to the markets, Market 28 is great, we had a blast bartering, got some great stuff and it is all indoors so you won't get wet. The bus system is actually faster than the taxis 1/2 the time and way cheaper. Remember to get the price out of the taxis before you get in, lots of times we got the taxi for a buck each going downtown, if you don't like ones price, just walk over to the next guy, it is great!

It rained on us there in October....about 10 minutes and in the middle of the night.

We're looking at around 90F when we go in 2 weeks and I can't wait!!!!

Okay here's a question.. Is it common to be windy in Cancun? The wind was blowing hard the whole time we were there and someone said that was common.
