    Weather.com indicates that in Cancun there will be a 60% chance of rain all week long.

    Add to the the high probability of being stuck at the Airports on Tuesday all day long....

    We are considering postponing this trip.

    Can people that live in Cancun help me out today and tomorrow?

    Please let us know if its raining in Cancun today, like your your sunny days raining all day and tomorrow please if it's not too much trouble.

    Thanks....

    We have been tracking the weather for a week and it climbed up to 60% prob..

    Some more feedback from people living in Cancun is greatly appreciated.

    We understand the tropical aspect but if its raining most of the day right now, well, that's no different then staying home.

    Anyone else? and many thanks

    No offense, and I have read so many of your posts and you are very smart.....so why would you post this? Its rainy season here as it is every year for 6 months. It can rain at any moment any day. Yesterday a BBQ was cancelled because it was pouring all day downtown. I was baffled cause in the hotel zone there wasn't a cloud in the sky where I was. Cancun is a large area, so that 60% indicates that it has a good chance of rain somewhere in the Cancun area. And that rain will likely not ruin your day. The same can happen when if you change your dates. A bad day in Cancun is better then a good day back home

    Yeah, Diego, don't let those forecasts fool you, it's just like ToriB said; in fact, the weather has been especially nice in recent days, sometimes punctuated by showers, but mostly beautiful skies and weather. It's been partly cloudy, today, after some showers overnight, just the way I prefer it so it's not too hot in the sun- great time to be at the beach!

    Toriiiiii, I am kind of flattered and at the same time nursing my bruise, nice jab kiddo....

    I was unable to apply logic and reasoning to the weather in Cancun. Not familiar one bit with tropical weather.

    With the high probability of spending all of Tuesday in airports I had to ask, 60% chance of rain and clouds here literally means a lousy day. I figured why not ask those that actually live there and can look out of their window and tell me.

    First we need to wait for the airports to assess any damage and resume operations. I called but they dont have any information yet.

    My wife's hopes will be lifted by the feedback. Given that you folks are indicating that bad weather can at times be isolated to different areas, we may have to do a bit of resort beach crashing, move around and about....anything to be under the sun.

    We will try to focus on the airport updates.

    I have only had one day out of the 30 i have been there be bad. I concur though about your situation with the airports...it would be a tough issue.

    The one day it rained a lot..we still had a blast.

    Really did mean it in the nicest way possible. Not sure what part of Jersey your from, but i am from Philly, and even they can't get the forecast right. Never!!!! its the same here as all info pretty much comes the same place.

    As your resident Suncare Advisor, its imperative to let everyone know that on a COMPLETELY gray day... no sun or blue sky once so ever, you get up to 70% of the suns direct rays, and in turn the worse burns those days. So unless it's lightning out, stay and get your tan on. Just remember to keep applying sunscreen. As you can also fry in 30 mn.
