June 9, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Yesterday the airport had a high of 93F (34C) with a heat index of 110F (44C). That’s back to the kind of heat we had before our big Sunday night storm. I’ve been forwarded posts from divers with reading around 90F underwater. The automated buoys are right around 86F (30C) on the surface and 85F 14 meters deep.
We have another couple of days of calm winds and seas. Again, this has been one of the longest calm periods I can remember, but it is coming to an end. We’ll start seeing a little of that Sunday with winds 15-20 mph and seas around 2 feet. Then getting into Monday we’ll see nighttime winds around 25 mph and daytime winds around 20 mph. Seas will be around 4 feet (1.3 meters), getting up to 5-6 feet by midweek.
Through most of next week we’ll have a small chance of overnight showers. We’re still very hopeful that around the 17th or 18th we’ll get a tropical wave that will bring us a very good chance of showers. That would cool things off and give us some much needed rain. Let’s hope it happens. Low tide is 11:50 a.m. Have a great Friday.
