November/hurricanes/Jamaica
 
I'm having trouble locating historical data and/or forecast information for hurricane weather for Jamaica in November.

Plan to be in Negril November 6-14 this year. Anyone have some links to sites that can help or long-term first hand knowledge? Been run off OBX twice in my life, but could drive away. :)

And, advice on trip insurance?

Many thanks in advance.

For historical hurricane info try (in no particular order):

www.caribwx.com
www.wunderground.com
www.crownweather.com/tropical.html
http://stormcarib.com/

For indepth comparisons of coverages and premiums for almost every type of travel insurance go to:

We've gone a little later in Nov (Thanksgiving) a few years in a row and never had any bad weather at all.

Hurricanes are pretty much June-Oct there.

Thanks to both Sunnyboy and liza for your help.

Have you tried posting your question on the message board at www.negril.com? I found the people there very helpful when we were planning our May trip. There are many locals & repeat visitors that post there. You can also link to a local webcast & chat.

Have a great time!!
