May brought us our lowest monthly rainfall total since last June. We recorded just .47 of an inch of rain, well below our May average of 2.63 inches of rain. June is typically a fairly dry month as well, with 3.06 inches of rain on average, though last year we only recorded .17 of an inch in June. Let’s hope we get more than that this year!

June 1, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of rain yesterday morning. Overnight last night we just barely missed out on a pretty good downpour. On the satellite from 8 p.m. last night to 8 a.m. this morning you can see the storm with a great deal of lightening at its core moving off the coast of Belize and moving just to our north and finally to our east.

We will have a good chance of seeing a shower today at some point under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be mostly from the west at 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters).

Rain chances continue through Saturday morning. Winds will be fairly mild through this period. Starting Sunday, things look drier and windier. Have a great Wednesday!

May 30, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Still a lot of clouds around this morning and still no rain. The next two days we have only very low rain chances, so watch us catch a shower 😅. Last night I got up to 34 mph winds on Jonesville Point. The next two days will also continue windy.

Today and tomorrow we have partly cloudy skies and daytime winds 10-15 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter) and nighttime winds 22-27 mph and seas at 5 feet (1.6 meters). We’ll say a 20 percent chance of rain today and 30 percent tomorrow.

Wednesday the winds calm down considerably and the rain chances increase. Over this time period Hurricane Agatha is expected to reform over the Bay of Campeche. While this won’t directly impact our weather, this time period will have lots of moisture and agitation in the Caribbean atmosphere, so we will have a good chance of catching some rain between Wednesday and the end of the week. Have a great week!

May 29, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! There are plenty of clouds around, but somehow we have managed to avoid the rain. On radar, most of the scattered showers are to our west.

We will keep a 50 percent chance of rain today and partly to mostly cloudy skies. Winds during the day will be 10-15 mph with 3 foot (1 meter) seas, but should pick up tonight to 20-25 mph and 4 foot (1.3 meter) seas.

Tomorrow and Tuesday we have a bit lower chance of rain, perhaps 30 percent. Daytime winds will be 15-20 mph and nighttime winds 20-25 mph both days.

Wednesday our winds calm down and our rain chances increase to around 50 percent each day into the weekend. We are entering an active pattern and most of us should see some rain this week. Have a great Sunday!

May 28, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We wake up to a lot of clouds but, at least as of 8 a.m., no rain on the island. At least there hasn’t been any recorded. The radar shows rain northwest of the islands off the coast of Belize.

Today there will be about a 40 percent chance of rain, especially toward evening. Winds will be from the east 10-15 mph and seas 2-3 feet (.6-1 meter). Tonight winds will get up to 15-20 mph and seas 3-4 feet.

Tomorrow should be a bit of a calmer day, with a 50-50 rain chance and seas at 2 feet.

Monday and Tuesday rain chances will be lower, around 20 percent each day. Starting Wednesday and into the weekend winds will get quite a bit calmer, to around 5-10 mph, and rain chances go back up to the 50-50 range each day. Have a great weekend!

May 26, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Last night was windy but not quite as windy as it has been. We got up to 31 mph on Jonesville Point when a few nights ago it was 39 mph. This morning we have partly cloudy skies with hazy sunshine due to Saharan dust, but those clouds do not seem to be producing rain.

Winds will continue around 20 mph with 3 foot (1 meter) seas during the day and 25 mph with 4 foot (1.3 meter) seas overnight. There will be a small chance of an isolated shower, especially this evening.

Rain chances are a little better tomorrow with winds continuing around 20 mph and seas around 3 feet.

It looks like we have a good chance of seeing some rain this weekend and next week looks to be one of the wettest we’ve had since mid-April. Good news for dusty roads. Have a great Thursday!

May 24, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got small showers yesterday and a few of us picked up a couple of very early morning showers today. But for the first time in awhile we’re getting full sunshine this morning.

Clouds will increase toward evening and we will have a chance at a scattered shower. This week will be a week with more showers than previous weeks. We’re leaving the very dry period of April-May for the somewhat wetter period of June-July.

Winds shouldn’t be around 20 mph today with 3 foot seas and 30 mph tonight with 5 foot seas.

Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with about a 20 percent chance of an evening shower and winds similar to today.

That pattern will continue until Friday and Saturday, when winds should calm a bit and the rain chance will increase. Have a great Tuesday!

May 23, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We have some light showers around this morning and we’ve had lots of clouds the last 24 hours.

The rain looks more impressive on the 7 a.m. radar than it did in our weather stations. No one got more than a tenth of an inch and I got zero on Jonesville Point. Let me know in comments what you got.

We will keep the clouds around today and a small chance of a shower. Winds will be out of the east at 20 mph and seas 3-4 feet (1-1.3 meters). Tonight should be calmer than past nights, with winds staying around 20 mph, but tomorrow night, gusts back up to 30 mph are forecast. This week will be a week with low chances of showers. Those chances will increase this weekend, but even then will only be about 40 percent. Have a great week!

May 22, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Last night we got up to 39 mph for our windiest night yet! Wind will continue today, along with some high clouds. It is unlikely any rain will come out of those clouds. Radar indicates some small areas with light rain off the island, but I’d put our chance of seeing any this morning at around 10 percent.

Other than that we will have east winds 20-30 mph and seas 4-6 feet (1.3-2 meters).

Winds may calm a bit tomorrow to 20 mph with continued mostly cloudy skies and seas 3-4 feet.

Windy, dry conditions continue until Friday, when we should have a calmer day with at least a chance of rain. Have a great Sunday!

May 20, 2022: Good morning, Roatan. We got winds up to 30 mph last night in Jonesville Point and expect more of the same tonight. There’s a lot of clouds and showers off the Mosquito Coast this morning, but those should stay over there and we should stay dry and partly cloudy. This afternoon and evening east/southeast winds will be back in the 20-30 mph range with seas at 5 feet (1.6 meters).

Tomorrow will be much like today and Sunday could be the windiest day of them all, with daytime winds consistently touching 30 mph.

Winds should drop back down to 15-20 mph Monday. Any chance of rain will come late in the week. Have a great Friday!
