Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Bob Jacobs in Palmetto Bay.It’s been plenty hot. The high at the airport yesterday 91 (33C) with a heat index of 110 (43C). Over the next few days there isn’t any relief in sight, with mostly sunny skies and very little to no chanceContinue reading “June 15, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Travis Flowers who caught a small water spout forming west of Utila. Utila finally got a shower yesterday evening, good for a quarter of an inch. West Bay got a measly .01. Utila is being teased by rain to the west again. Look atContinue reading “June 11, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Chris Avron in Politilly. We are going to have an interesting week ahead in our forecast. We will have more moisture coming in from the Caribbean, but as we have learned, that is no guarantee of rain. This is the forecast from the CanadianContinue reading “June 8, 2026”

My apologies for failing to get up April 2026 rainfall. We recorded 1.22 inches, about average for the month. Rainfall was clustered in early April and again in mid-April. Rainfall for May was — not surprisingly — zero. A few locations recorded .01 or .02, but no one got significant rainfall. It was our firstContinue reading “Rainfall for April and May 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. At 9 a.m. we likely don’t have rain anywhere in the southern Caribbean, only some high clouds that aren’t going to keep our temperature away from 90 (32C). We will continue to have strong east winds and seas around 4 feet Southside. Here’s the NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center outlook for the nextContinue reading “June 3, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Brad Ryon in Utila. Our surf on the Southside is back to 3 feet after a couple of days of a bit calmer winds. We start the day with east winds 15 mph and seas 3 feet. We will stay right around there today,Continue reading “May 31, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. at 7:45 a.m. we have a storm about 50 miles east of Guanaja, but it is nearly stationary, so I don’t expect it to move our way. We’re still seeing increasing clouds, but rain is unlikely today. We have a little better chance tomorrow morning, maybe 30 percent. Friday through SundayContinue reading “May 27, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Jim Kaltenbacher, who captured this sun halo. Halos like this are caused by ice crystals in high cirrus clouds, such as what we are experiencing now. There are some cumulus clouds to our northeast this morning, but they are moving away from us. ButContinue reading “May 26, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s satellite (9 a.m.) showed something we haven’t seen in awhile, heavy clouds and a little rain. Unfortunately it was over toward Livingston, Guatemala and Punta Gorda, Belize, but it was close enough to throw some high clouds our way. We will still stay dry through Wednesday morning, but highContinue reading “May 24, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. We’ve been talking for awhile about a potential change in our weather for next week. This is the GFS (American model) forecast for Monday at 10 a.m. and you will see more high clouds than we’ve been experiencing. Starting Monday and into next week we should see more clouds, especially highContinue reading “May 22, 2026”
