Question
I am planning on traveling June 14 to 22 to the Maho beach resort on the Dutch. I am just a bit concerned about the weather. I know the storm season has started but is it bad, is it raining all the time? and are there any hurricane's or tropical storms hitting at that time. I am researching but no website gives me time frames when all these storms are to hit.

I don't want to be stuck on the Island.Need your advice.

Thank you
Rosanna


Answer
Hi Rosanna,

Hurricane season runs from June through December.  However, this does not mean you are going to get rain every day, all day.  It just means you could get a storm somewhere in there and you will probably see a shower around 3pm some days for about 15 minutes.  Nothing that will wash out your trip.  You should have beautiful sunny, hot weather.

Enjoy!
