November-"Rainy" season but does it really rain much?

[Brad J]

For all the November Bonaire travelers, what is your experience with November rain? It's technically Bonaire's rainiest month but what's everyone's experience?

I've been there every month of the year, over 25 years with 40 trips, covering 59 weeks.
My rainiest visit was this last June.
Rain is short, sometimes heavy, not a problem.
It is a desert island in the tropics. Rain is a fact of life.
To put it in perspective, the Nov rainfall averages maybe 4 inches. Miami is more that double that every month from June-Oct.

Early on in our 14 straight years on visiting Bonaire, I watched a friend who introduced us to the island, photographing a small pond.
In all his years visiting Boaire, he had not seen standing water!
One February I actually got a pic of a tree from on our rental truck. I never have seen another.
Rainy season is a relative term, and Bonaire gets relatively little in the way of rain....and welcomes it when it arrives!

I was there last November for a week (Nov 18-25). Can't recall rain ever being a factor, but the light winds during that week made it feel hotter topside that what I'd experienced during other visits -- even though temps were the same. After at least a dozen trips to Bonaire, I can assure you that a "rainy day" there is a non-event.
