Rainfall for August 2023

Rainfall for August 2023: We’re putting 3.8 inches in the books for August and that is a little above average across the island. Most locations got a little under 3 inches, but we will stay with Sandy Bay’s total for consistency. Even that is still below average for the month and we are two-thirds of the way through the year with only a quarter of the total expected rainfall for the year. We are well on our way for having a worse drought year than 2019 was. September is another 4 inch average month and is our last month before the wet season should start, halfway through the month of October. If anyone ever asks what is the best month to visit Roatan, I ALWAYS say September. We have generally calm seas and not a lot of rain and not a lot of crowds. But, of course, who listens to me? 😉
