First welcome to the forum. You will find some very friendly and well informed folks here. Many of us (me for 7+ years) have lived here for a while and are familiar with some of the "ropes"
LT is a very nice area to settle in. Lots of expats from all over (a majority probably French) the world and nice sense of community. Some beautiful beaches and countryside and I would not worry about the weather. You will see lots more sun than rain. It is the tropics though so always a chance of an afternoon or evening shower but not on most days.
Have you been here before???
If not and you have not settled on the LT area I would come spend a month or so and explore all areas of the country before settling on your location.
In any event welcome and feel free to ask away. Someone here will have the answers you are looking for.
