Tonight and tomorrow morning we start looking for decent chances of rain. We have those chances again tomorrow night and Wednesday night. Starting Thursday things look a bit drier again into the weekend. Even if we don’t get much rain, the clouds and nearby rain should bring a LITTLE relief from the heat. We deserveContinue reading “June 5, 2023”

I promised a discussion about our recent heat wave and its effect on sea temps. First of all, we are not alone. The first map shows temperatures at a network of buoys operated by aqualink.org. Yellow means the area is under a heat watch, orange means heat warning, red means coral bleaching is likely, brownContinue reading “Sea temperature discussion”

June 4, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! We wake up again to mild winds and calm seas. Today will be sunny and fairly calm, which will again make for a very hot day. Winds tonight will be from the east 10-15 mph. Tomorrow we will have a few more clouds, but we’ll stay dry untilContinue reading “June 4, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands. We had a shower try to make it to Utila around 1 a.m. and fall apart just before it got there. Otherwise on radar we see another storm well to our north off the northern coast of Belize and one coming off the Mosquito Coast. But sadly none of them were around here.Continue reading “June 2, 2023”

Rainfall (or lack of rainfall) for May 2023: We had one shower during the entire month, that fell on May 15. West Bay got the most, .35 of an inch, but most of us got only around a tenth of an inch. Officially we’re putting .15 of an inch the books for the month, theContinue reading “Rainfall (or lack thereof) for May 2023”

Good morning and welcome to June! Overnight there was a really nice storm, but it was well to our north. That would have felt really good here. There are indications that we will get one sometime in the next two weeks as we transition into what is normally a little bit of a wetter month.Continue reading “June 1, 2023”

May 31, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We got a little relief from the heat yesterday with clouds that stuck around most of the day. Even so our high temperature was 90F (32C) and the heat index was 98F (37C). This morning we have clouds coming from the west, but no rain on radar. WindsContinue reading “May 31, 2023”

Good morning Bay Islands! This morning we’ve been a little cooler because we’ve been in the clouds. Unfortunately not much in the way of any rain. I had one report of a few sprinkles on Guanaja, but that was it. You can also see in the satellite that we are about to get more sun,Continue reading “May 30, 2023”

May 29, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Looks like the kids are headed back to school and this morning they have a northeast breeze at 15 mph to cool them off, which is not much, but more than we’ve been having recently. Seas are 2 feet on the south side and 1 foot on theContinue reading “May 29, 2023”

May 27, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We’re still watching the northern sky to see if we can get a shower over the island, perhaps around 9 a.m. If so, consider yourself fortunate. After that we will have partly sunny skies and dry conditions. We should have small chances of early morning showers through Wednesday.Continue reading “May 27, 2023”
