What time of year should you avoid traveling to the Caribean (huricane season and all)?
I have been to the Caribbean so many times I lost count. I have had hurricanes interrupt my vacations as well. Hurricane season officially starts June 1st and run through the end of November. Mother Nature does not always get the memo though. According to federal weather watchers, things could get a bit rough this year. Released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, the 2007 report projects a 75 percent chance that the Atlantic hurricane season will be above normal. The report goes on to predict 13 to 17 named storms, seven to 10 of which could become hurricanes and three to five of which could become major storms, Category 3 or higher. It is hit or miss though. One suggestion I have is to consider a Caribbean Cruise. I was on one during Hurricane Andrew. The ship will avoid the storm as much as possible! After 30 years in the Travel Business I can honestly say I would not avoid going any time of the year.
