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.

First, let’s look at air quality, which is actually in the “good” range on the Mosquito Coast for the first time in awhile. Yesterday I posted the forecast windContinue reading “May 8, 2026”

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Jordan Byrne in West Bay. As you probably know, moons aren’t supposed to orange. At least our moon isn’t supposed to be. It is this color because of all the smoke in the atmosphere. Our air quality numbers are similar to yesterday’s, though theContinue reading “May 6, 2026”
