For those of you interested in traveling during hurricane season the following statement come from CaribWX (noted for highly reliable Caribbean weather forcasting)
http://caribwx.mwxc.com/cyclone.html
" if you're planning a trip to the Eastern Caribbean from June to December, the risk of seeing Tropical Storm Force winds on any given day, at any given location is less than 1-in-500, with a good chance for pleasant weather on the other days of your trip. Your risk of seeing Hurricane Force winds on any given day, at any given location may be about 1-in-2000, with a good chance for pleasant weather on the other days of your trip. Your risk of seeing strong & destructive winds over 100 kts is less than 1-in-5000.
If you hear that "a Hurricane passed thru the Caribbean", remember the Caribbean is a huge area, most Hurricanes are relatively-small, and there's only a slight chance your destination was impacted. Contact your destination for more details if you're think it may have been in the effected area.
Given the small risk that a Hurricane will impact your plans, you might consider taking advantage of off-season rates, and using some of your savings from the lower rates to purchase travel insurance. And of course, check our Marine Forecast daily for the latest weather forecast."
