Good morning Bay Islands. As you can see on satellite, there are scattered showers around, especially to the west. Today will be a day of scattered showers and clouds, north winds around 20 mph and seas around 5-6 feet Northside. Wind will calm to 15 mph tomorrow with lower rain chances. The weekend looks quite calm, but we will continue to have a few showers around, especially overnights and mornings. Have a great Thursday!

We have a big change in weather upcoming, with more rain, a north wind and temperatures a few degrees cooler.

On satellite at 7:30 a.m. you can see the cold front draped across the Gulf from Yucatan to Florida. Today we will see increasing clouds, with winds around 10 mph shifting from south to west to north by midnight. We will have a decent chance of rain overnight. Rain should lessen during the day tomorrow, but our best chance for some heavy rains comes tomorrow night through the day on Thursday. Current models show 2-3 inches, but when we get these northers, heavy rains can mean higher rain totals. The highest winds should come Thursday evening through the day Friday, with 15 mph winds and seas 4 and perhaps at times 5 feet Northside. Rain and wind lessen Friday into the weekend and this weekend actually looks gorgeous. This front should also knock our temperatures back a few degrees, with lows around 70 (21C) and highs perhaps only around 77 (25C).

Low tides are 1:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Today we will be windy and dry, with an east wind 20 mph and 3 foot seas during the day and gusting to 30 mph and 4 foot tonight. Winds calm a bit tomorrow to 7-12 mph and seas still 3 feet southside. Tuesday winds will start to turn to the north but only around 10 mph in advance of our norther which will bring scattered showers Tuesday evening through the end of the week, though rain totals don’t look too bad. An inch or two will be welcome after all our dry conditions. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day is from Patti Yelinek in Las Rocas north of West Bay.
We start out the day with 15 mph east winds and 3 foot seas, but those will calm this afternoon into tomorrow, with seas 1-2 feet most of the weekend. As we get into Sunday evening and Monday winds pick up a bit, but the bit story is the potential of a rainy end of next week with a norther.

This is the Canadian forecast model. It shows that we are mostly dry through about Tuesday, but starting Wednesday and into next weekend we are looking at rain coming down from the north. We should have a northerly breeze with this system, but it won’t be particularly strong. We’ll keep an eye on it.

Whatever the weather, you can count on Jolly Roger Roatan to find the calmest cove and the best reef in Roatan and get you back to your ship on time.

Lowest tide is 11:30 p.m. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Friend of Roatan Weather Mike Strine captured a cumulus rain cloud that brought Camp Bay Beach a third of an inch of rain yesterday. It looks like early morning showers brought a little more rain to the east side this morning around 3 a.m. We have a few clouds around, but again we will be mostly sunny today and the wind will get calmer starting tomorrow.

Here is our 7 a.m. satellite showing clouds mostly toward Guanaja, moving to the northwest. We should be mostly sunny and warm today. Our forecast is mostly dry through Monday with only a spotty morning shower here or there. Our winds today are out of the east 15 mph and seas 3 feet. We will have one more night of gusty trade winds to 20 mph and seas 4 feet. Starting tomorrow winds calm to 5-10 mph and seas 2 feet, getting down to 1 foot by Saturday.
Starting Tuesday we are looking at a mild norther. Winds shouldn’t be very strong, but there could be a good bit of rain for the period Tuesday through Thursday next week. We’ll keep an eye on it.

With lower winds the next few days it will be perfect grilling weather and the right time to head down to Carniceria Rosita for premium meats in Coxen Hole or French Harbour.

Lowest tide is 11 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Deanna Jones who captured a double rainbow yesterday at Parrot Tree. We had a quick shower yesterday evening around 5 a.m. and another round in some areas after midnight, that brought a few hundredths to a few locations on the big island, but almost an inch at the Garcia home on Guanaja. The trend is toward drier windier weather.

At 7 a.m. we have some high clouds that don’t carry rain. These clouds are actually moving from west to east, the opposite of our normal flow due to winds higher in the atmosphere. These clouds should lessen as the day goes on and we’ll see more sun this afternoon. We’ll keep small chances of overnight showers in the forecast, but most of us should be dry. Winds will be strong the next few days, with daytime winds from the east 15-20 mph and seas 3 feet and 20-25 mph and 4 feet overnights. Have a great Friday!

What a difference a month makes. February won’t be remembered for its rainfall. We’re putting 1.94 inches in the books and most stations recorded between 1.5 and 3 inches of rain for the month, signaling we are getting into dry season. Feb ’26 will be remembered for COLD!!! We recorded our all-time record low on the island at 62.2 degrees on the 10th. We don’t have to worry about that anymore. We are back into the lower 80s and that should continue into March, a typically dry month with just over 3 inches of rain. We look to be starting the month with a forecast of typical dry season trade winds a low chances of morning showers.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Becky Welter who took this photo at Palmetto Bay. She says she keep up with Roatan Weather as a way of going back mentally to our islands when she is home in Chicago.
We have sun and a few clouds this morning and a chance of a shower here or there.

On satellite at 8:30 a.m. we have a few popcorn clouds lined up and moving west over the east end of the big island. Only one location, Carib Bight, in our weather network picked up a small shower this morning. There will be a small chance of a quick shower today, but we should be mostly sunny. Winds are out of the east at 17 mph and seas 2-3 feet. We should stay in that area of winds today and tomorrow. Thursday evening and Friday morning our trade winds pick up, though there is some disagreement between the GFS and Euro as to how strong they will get. The GFS says up to 30 mph overnights and the Euro is more conservative at about 20 mph overnights. These trade winds will last through the weekend.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Marie-Eve Couture at Media Luna near Parrot Tree. She is visiting from Quebec, Canada.

The photo is appropriate because today and tomorrow we will have crystal clear blue skies. Starting Sunday into Monday we will have more clouds and chances at morning showers and a windy end to next week.

Today and tomorrow we will have winds calming to 5-10 mph from the east, while seas south side are around 2 feet. Sunday into the middle of the following week we will have winds from the east around 15 mph and seas 3 feet. Sunday and especially Monday and Tuesday we will have decent chances of seeing morning showers. Starting midweek, things get drier and windier, with trade winds 15-20 days and 20-25 night with south side seas 4 feet.

Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Carla Scram and shows the sun peaking through the clouds in West End. The sun doesn’t have to peak through anything but blue sky this morning. We’re in for some great weather days.

Our satellite is clear and likely will be clear all day. We don’t have much of a chance of rain through the weekend. Today through the weekend we will have east winds around 15 mph. Today we will have 3 foot seas, but starting tomorrow we will have 2 foot seas.
