jad828 Posted April 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Does it normally rain all day? Or is it like Florida rain where it rains and then clears up. I looked at the forecast next week and it looks like there will be a bit of rain. :( I am hoping this cruise isn't a total wash out! Thanks!

cruisegirl29 Posted April 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi, I'm leaving for bermuda on Sunday. I'm staying on the island for 5 days next week. Every website forecast is different. I've never been to bermuda but plan on 70 degrees/daytime & 60's nighttime. From every website I've looked at it the weather looks great. Slight chance of rain. Happy sailing!

Pleiades Posted April 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It’s the kind of rain that comes and goes easily. All day rain is very rare, frequent showers are more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafeet Posted April 27, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I've been to Bermuda 5x's and only once did it really rain all day. The other times a quick downpour and it was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad828 Posted April 27, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks cruisegril29!! I am so excited to sail out on Sunday....I think being in Bermuda no matter what the weather is better than being home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcocktail Posted April 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Weather.com has rain every day except Wednesday. The royal gazette newspaper has it as sunny. Do who do you believe? I have been in Bermuda in the past it rained for 5 days straight. So it can happen, but I am sure that is not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl29 Posted April 28, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think I'll stick with the forecast from the bermuda website which is also featured in their local newspaper. I like it much better & It's not going to rain!!! Positive attitudes!!!!! :) Sue Ps. weather.com from the weather channel is usually incorrect when they forecast where I live.

kruzingtogether Posted April 28, 2007 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2007 When we were there, it rained on day for about an hour, and then there was a beautiful rainbow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserssandr Posted April 28, 2007 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The only time I have seen it rain all day in Bermuda is when we were there for Bermuda Day in 2001. It poured all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Walt Posted April 29, 2007 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Our first trip to Bermuda in 1969 was in April (our delayed honeymoon). We booked a week at Elbow Beach and had 5 days of rain and one with mostly sun. We became friends with the expat. hotel manager who told us that, according to everyone he spoke with locally, Bermuda never experienced a rainy spell that was anything like that. A couple we befriended during our stay decided to stay an extra day in hopes of a day of sunshine, while we decided to cut our trip short by a day. (Cup half full/cup half empty types, I guess.) They called us when they returned home and told us that the extra day was, you guessed it, rainy as well. The rains were intermittent downpours with frequent breaks so we still did a lot of the usual tourist stuff but our tans got no help at all. We still had a lot of fun on our rented scooters and swimming in the pool and the Atlantic in the rain and still have fun recalling the trip.

cruisegirl29 Posted May 4, 2007 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi, Just thought I'd let you know that I had the best weather this week while I was in Bermuda! It was about 75 & sunny (NO CLOUDS EVEN!!) It was cooler in the evening so I wore a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt. Can't belive I was there only 24 hrs ago............ahhhhhhhhh wish I was there!!! Use the bermuda website for the most accurate forecast for that area. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
