Question
I have a question about going to jamacia. Im getting married in october and my fiance would like to honeymoon there. What is the weather like twards the end of october? Would this be a good idea or not?

Answer
Joeie,

The weather in Jamiaca is generally nice at that time of year. However, you do have to keep in mind that October is definitely still in hurricane season, and Jamaica could be prone to getting storms at that time of year. Normally, the chances of having a hurricane hit Jamaica are much higher during the first week or two of October than they are at the end of the month.
I hope this helped!

Sincerely,
