Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Patti Yelinik and was taken at the end of Kai Linda Way in West Bay at sunset. The big story of the day is that Jonesville got just one degree away from our all-time recorded low temperature on the big island. It reached 66.9F (19.4 C).
Many of us got down around 70 degrees this morning for two reasons. Less cloud cover allowed the earth to cool down more last night than the previous night. Also winds this morning were quite calm (about 5 mph) and that also allows the temp to cool.
But the big news is a recording station in Jonesville got down to 66.9 F (19.4C). This is a fairly new station and I suspect if it had been here in 2020 when we hit our all-time record low of 66F, it would have been lower. I’m going to do a video later where I explain why.
That said, with only partly cloudy skies today, we should get warm fairly quickly, up to around 82-84F (28-29C) quickly. As I always say, it is hard to stay under 80 degrees here when the sun is out.
Little to no chance of rain today. Tomorrow we had been calling for scattered showers, but the models and not very optimistic for rain tomorrow. I’ll say a 20 percent chance tomorrow morning. After that we dry up again through the weekend with maybe a 20 percent chance Sunday morning.
We start the day quite calm at about 5 mph and seas around 3 feet. Winds should speed up this afternoon to 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet from the northeast. Tomorrow things look even calmer, with similar winds, but seas 1-2 feet. Friday things get windier and winds and seas turn to the east. Winds Friday evening will be 20-25 mph and seas around 5 feet on the southside. Winds and seas get calmer for the weekend, around 2-3 feet before getting windier on Monday.
You may have noticed that we picked up a new sponsor. Roatan Pets makes all-natural pet food (mostly dog food right now) with local ingredients made in their production facility in French Harbour. Mitch Cummings started this business with a focus on healthy pet food that you can’t get from the big factories. And he donates 10 percent of all sales to Roatan Operation Animal Rescue (ROAR). I think we can all agree that the animals of Roatan need all the help they can get. For more info contact him on Whatsapp at 9801-7828.
High and low tides are still running quite low. Have a great Wednesday!
