Good morning Bay Islands. We have a gorgeous work of creation as our photo of the day today. Did you know hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 5400 times per minute and can’t walk? If you like this photo Dion Bramblett of Sandy Bay may have a chance at $50 in Roatan Pets food.
While we were getting virtually no rain yesterday, this was the scene in La Ceiba. This has been a very odd cold front. Basically it rained all around us but not over us. Someone should have had a beach wedding yesterday. That always seems to make it rain 🙁
Even if we didn’t get much rain, the rain on the coast should help with the smoke, at least for the next week or so, giving us clearer skies. Temperatures will be mild this weekend. We will be dry, though someone might get a small shower on Pascua Sunday morning.
We start out with north winds 15-20 mph and seas 5 feet on the north side. The winds aren’t quite as bad as we feared, and the seas get better the further south you go, so those of you riding the Galaxy Wave will have a little chop, especially if you are coming back to Roatan, but not too bad overall. Winds will stay from the north around 15 mph and seas around 4 feet today. Winds turn to the east tomorrow around 10 mph and seas at 2 feet.
The cold front has brought incredibly cool temperatures in the 50s and 60s for the Yucatan Peninsula. We won’t get this cool, but we should have lows the next couple of mornings in the mid 70s and highs right around 83, so a lot better than the 90s we had the past week.
After two days of cooler temperatures, next week looks warm again, with highs around 88 and lows around 80. The GFS wants to bring a cold front in Friday or Saturday with a small chance of rain, but also some cooler weather for next weekend. This is a loop showing how above or below average our temperatures will be in the atmosphere overhead.
Even the high tides are pretty low right now. Have a pleasant and safe holiday weekend and watch out for the folks who shouldn’t be driving!
