Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo of the day comes from Louise Ciarleglio and shows some nice cumulus clouds near Gibson Bight. Unfortunately we don’t have too many cumulus clouds around today, just cirrus clouds and dusty haze. If you would like to enter a photo in the contest for $50 credit at Hangover Hut, send me a photo with name and location to bookmybio@gmail.com.
This morning’s satellite shows high clouds across our area. We will continue to have hazy skies and Saharan dust and smoke in the air. All that haze may be cooling us a couple of degrees. We briefly made it to 90 degrees at the airport yesterday, but most of the day we sat at 88 degrees. We will continue to be dry and hazy through the weekend.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We will continue to have daytime easterly winds around 15 mph and seas 3 feet on the southside. Starting tonight our east winds will be a little stronger at 20-25 mph.
At the beginning of each month, the Canadian weather bureau puts out a rainfall projection for the next 12 months. These long-range forecasts are always shots in the dark, but they try to show trends in weather. Their prediction for May is already pretty good. They predicted 1 to 2 inches below normal rainfall for us. That would mean we would get through May with around half an inch. Right now that sounds about right.
The June forecast is for 2 inches above average rainfall for June. If this holds true we would get 5 inches of rain in June.
The July forecast is for 1 to 2 inches above average rainfall. If this is true we could expect 6.5 to 7.5 inches of rain in July.
During our weekend trip to Guanaja we took some smoked pork chops from Carniceria Rosita. My wife, Mrs. Roatan Weather, is a pork connoisseur and she is now a big fan of these chops. They are precooked so all you have to do is microwave them and you have a ready made meal at a fraction of the cost of dining out.
Lowest tide is at 3 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!
