Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Phil Sikora and offers a view of cumulus clouds through the power lines of Los Fuertes. We enjoyed a day of between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of rain on Roatan, less on Guanaja and more on Utila. Unfortunately our rainContinue reading “June 21, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Amy Knadler and shows folks looking longingly at storm clouds in Utila. I have to say I don’t think I’ve been through such a period on the island where rain was falling all around us and not on us. It looks like that mayContinue reading “June 19, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Cesar Gonzalez Sr. taken from Pristine Bay looking east. We don’t get many nighttime photos of clouds, but I like this one because it shows first light of dawn coming through wispy cirrus clouds that have no rain. This is the infrared satellite image, which gives theContinue reading “June 18, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is a great sunrise from Colette Grbac in Lighthouse Estates in West Bay Point. If you like Colette’s photo, she’ll have a chance at a free dive from Sandy Bay Divers. We’re looking for a sponsor for next month’s contest. If you’d like to sponsor, pleaseContinue reading “June 17, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Dmitry Nezhny sends us this beautiful cumulonimbus cloud over Lawson Rock. It would be even more beautiful if it would bring actual rain to the islands. It seems we continue to be condemned to watch jealously while it rains out to sea. At least the rain, along with heavier waves, areContinue reading “June 16, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Bella Chamberlain from her place between Milton Bight and Politilly. It shows a gorgeous sunrise she calls “fire over ash.” Lots of folks are taking advantage of the dry weather to burn off fields. Here is this morning’s satellite. We again see rain off the coastContinue reading “June 15, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. I usually try not to use two photos from the same person in the same month, but I have to make an exception today, because Jeffrey Hill perfectly pictured what our last 24 hours have been like with rain — so close, yet so far away. This is taken from theContinue reading “June 14, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Jeffrey Hill who captured these island black iguanas, also known as washy willies, in his yard above Jonesville Point. They were sunning themselves in the sun. Even though they are cold-blooded, I wonder if they ever get hot, because it was 93 degrees yesterdayContinue reading “June 13, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Ariane Baltodano and I’m going to take a wild guess that it is from West End. We continue to have mostly clear skies with the hope of some rain Thursday night into Friday morning. This morning we see a few showers north of Gracias a DiosContinue reading “June 12, 2024”

Good morning Bay Islands. This morning’s photo comes from Kristi Voves and shows sisters Gemma and Lake walking through baby mangroves on the beach at Blue Bahia Resort. I’ll be visiting Sandy Bay Divers, the sponsors of this month’s photo contest for a dive. Seas will be a little choppier than they have in recentContinue reading “June 11, 2024”
