Just got back Saturday night from a week in St. John.

Mosquitos are quite bad, bring the repellent though and apply often and you should be okay. Rained hard once a day but never put a real crimp in the day's plans. Its a warm rain and it ends quickly.

No rain and no mosquitos here in CT but I'd go back to STJ in a heart beat...

Anyone have a guess whether the increase in bugs due to the recent rains might clear up or at least decrease before June 2nd? I was wondering if it is something that goes away or decreases signficantly with some dry weather and good breezes?? I am pretty good about staying off the beaches early a.m. and dusk when the no-see-ums are at their worst but wanted to get an idea how much worse it is going to be this year.

p.s. just got 3 bottles of Avon skin so soft w/bug repellant off ebay for about $12 based on some of the recommendations from others on the board.

We are leaving on May 19th.... Getting slightly nervous!! Weather looks rainy on weather.com....eeeeek. Has it been raining alllll day long?! Say it isnt so! 🙂 thanks so much

No heavy rain for a couple of weeks now just the very, very brief passing shower (5 mins long or so 🙂 ) so no worries.
Do not look at the weather forecast as it ALWAYS says 30% of rain and they are right as sometime during a 24 hour period somewhere over the region will have a 5 min shower and remember 30% chance of rain is 70% chance of sunshine 🙂
The bugs are finally getting better. Anytime after heavy rain, 7-10 days later they come out in full force but now they are subsiding 🙂

Hope this helps

Thanks for the input...! Makes me feel a little better...3 of the days were there it says 60% chance..I know i should just stop worrying because there's nothing i can do about it.. haha. But hopefully it wont be too rainy! We definetly get enough of that in Ohio. 🙂
