Nobody knows, it changes from year to year and day to day.
I have been mexico in Oct/Nov and the dominican Aug/Sept. All during hurricane season.

In mexico it runs from June-Nov. A hurricane can hit at any time as can bad weather.

In Oct we went on honeymoon and for the 1st 9 days it was pure sunshine, then it started to rain. people tell you that it rains for half an hour then stops, this is the case a lot of the time but sadly it was not for us. It rained, thunder & Lightening and high winds for 5 days and the rest of our holiday. This was due to a Cat 1 hurricane passing us.

We went to DR this year Aug/sept and a cat 4 hurricane passed us only bringing 1.5 days of solid rain etc.... it really does depend on how close it is if it happens.

mexico has not had a direct hit since WIlma in 2005. It is scary though wondering if it will hit you or not. I spent time looking at projected paths on both trips.

Hurricanes are not the only problem though tropical storms/depressions also bring the bad weather. Saying that for the most it really is blue skys and sun!!

Has it put me off??? No way we are hopefully going back to mexico to stay at our 3rd excellence resort next Aug.............says it all really, just depends if you want to risk it yourself xx

Hurricane alert in Caribbean

Several Caribbean islands are on hurricane alert after a storm lashed Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago at the weekend.

Depending on the path it takes, Hurricane Tomas could now hit Jamaica, eastern Cuba or the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where more than a million survivors of last January's earthquake are still living in tented camps.

Airports in Barbados and St Lucia were forced to close at the weekend when the islands were hit by Tomas. Some flights across the Caribbean have been cancelled.

The storm has lost some of its power, but the US National Hurricane Centre has warned that it could gather more force as it sweeps across the region.

I have been watching this since Friday. It has been to a Cat 1 hurricane and is now back to a tropical storm. The storm doesn't seemed to have followed the predictions as yet. The path has changed and it was predicted to become a major hurricane by the middle/end of the week, but it looks like they are now predicting that it will go back up to a Cat 1. If it carries on the current predicted path it will dump on Haiti. Heaven knows those poor people really don't need anymore rain and wind.
I have a friend who went to Jamaica yesterday and was worried because it did look like it might hit there but not anymore.

St Lucia and St Vincent battered by hurricane

The island of St Lucia is starting a major clear-up operation after being battered by Hurricane Tomas at the weekend.

At least 14 people are now reported to have died on the Caribbean island after the hurricane triggered landslides.

The storm also hit the island of St Vincent and is now veering towards Haiti, which was tragically hit by an earthquake in January.

According to the BBC, St Lucia's Prime Minister Stephenson King has declared a state of emergency.

The island's Tourism officials issued a statement today saying the Category 1 storm "packed sustained winds and heavy rain, which resulted in fallen trees, infrastructural damage to buildings, damage to major roads consequentially restricting access to various areas, and temporary loss of utility services across the island".

They said damage was limited mainly to loss of landscaping and flooding to accommodations although a few hotels reported some structural damage.

The country expects to be back to normal by November 12, they added.

Those wishing to leave are being helped by the island's Government and the private sector, while those wishing to remain on island will continue to be taken care of, said the statement.

Cruise ships will resume calls to the island on November 7.
