Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Helen Murphy and shows some nice cumulus clouds in the distance on an otherwise sunny day.

Most locations on the east side got 2-3 inches. Guanaja (7.72 inches) and Utila (10.1) were big winners in the rain category.Continue reading “Rainfall for August 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. I’m not going to do a photo of the day today because there is slightly more to worry about from our potential tropical storm.
