Have you checked the webcam? It's gorgeous where I am right now, about 15 kilometers south of Playa proper. I imagine a chance of rain does exist though, by the weekend... remnants of the weird tropical storm that developed out there a few days ago. It's dying out though, so there may be nothing but blue skies.

I'm sure that it's fine.

Are you going to let a little rain spoil your vacation???

[Orcagirl]

so help me ...

there's been nasty ice storms here grounding central US - i leave monday (one stop over in the US) and there is some storm passing the yucatan fri-sat and moving into the gulf....

i sure hope the travels will be smooth and normal :S

yesssssss , that sounds ok to me.
the webcams are not giving much away , 2 of them doesn't work the tird only shows the street.
a little rain is no problem , but i was getting nightmares about 9 days of rain..
so i needed a little piece in my mind.
so thank you all for that.
i'm also ariving saterday , so lets hope there will be no storm.

Don't worry you will be fine ! See you soon.

Ok. Sorry. I might rant here (this has bugged me for a while so I need to get it off my chest).

This gets said time and time and time and time and time (you get the picture) again. On the bigger picture, no, it alone should not spoil a holiday. However. Speaking from personal experience..... I will be travelling to Playa very shortly for my only break all year. The country I am travelling from has had pretty much nothing but rain, every day, for the majority of the year - including wide-spread flooding in my city due to it and this during the supposed "summer" months. It is a very costly exercise too this holiday. Now, I am coming for warmth and sunshine. A break from the rain. Please god, a break from the god damn rain. I don't drink so "hey, if it rains, go get drunk in a bar" doesn't quite cut it.

So, on that basis.... yes.... I understand why the OP is asking the question.... sometimes rain can spoil to some extent a holiday..... and, being totally honest with you, although obviously its nature so its beyond prediction and control, if it regularly chucks it down when I am there it will hack me off a touch. Please stop giving anyone who asks a question like this a hard time.

Sorry. That feels better. That's bugged me for a while now.

Always bugs me too. The surprizing thing this time is that it was said by someone so very new to the forum. Who, perhaps, hasn't even been there yet??
That said, in all the time I have spent in Playa, it very seldom rains all day..

New and not been there - do you mean me or the OP?

Haven't you ever seen 9 1/2 weeks ? A little or alot of rain is good sometimes!

[diogeron]

Arnold,
Having lived in Maastricht for six months, I understand your concern about rain (For the record, I love the Netherlands and Maastricht especially.) While nobody can guarantee the weather, the weather is usually wonderful at this time of year and the next two months. Just go and have fun. The weather will take care of itself.

Granted.... gotta give you that one Jez.... in that instance its a good thing.

We've had way too much of it here this year though. I am thoroughly, thoroughly sick of it. Like you wouldn't believe. Now its a few degrees below too on top of it. Brrrrrr. Ooooh.... to get all sunny and warmed up....!
