The rain question pops up with regularity here. On Culebra, it's rare for a storm to be large enough to cover the entire island. Or last longer than a half hour. All day or multi-day rains do happen during hurricane season, but even those are rare. It *is* the tropics, and a short shower interlude can and does occur, often accompanied by a lovely rainbow. Without them, the island turns brown and there would be no bougainvillaea or mangos.
Another thing to remember is that most weather reports you see originate on the main island of Puerto Rico. Given the size and number of the micro-climates in the Antillies, these reports are about as meaningful to Culebra as one from Nashville.
Lastly, no vacation on Culebra is complete without at least one session on the veranda with a good book and cup of coffee, gentle rain pattering on the awning.
