June 3, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! On the satellite image, we can see pretty clearly the structure of what will soon be Tropical Storm Alex. The rain we received in the middle of the night was from an outer wave of moisture coming off the system. (I can’t say an outer band, because the stormContinue reading “June 3, 2022”

June 2, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! This morning we awoke to clouds and light rain. This is thanks to moisture coming south from Invest 91L, a storm just east of Yucatan that could become Tropical Storm Alex.

May 30, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Still a lot of clouds around this morning and still no rain. The next two days we have only very low rain chances, so watch us catch a shower 😅. Last night I got up to 34 mph winds on Jonesville Point. The next two days will also continueContinue reading “May 30, 2022”

May 29, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! There are plenty of clouds around, but somehow we have managed to avoid the rain. On radar, most of the scattered showers are to our west. We will keep a 50 percent chance of rain today and partly to mostly cloudy skies. Winds during the day will be 10-15Continue reading “May 29, 2022”

May 28, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We wake up to a lot of clouds but, at least as of 8 a.m., no rain on the island. At least there hasn’t been any recorded.

May 26, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Last night was windy but not quite as windy as it has been. We got up to 31 mph on Jonesville Point when a few nights ago it was 39 mph.
