April 19, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! We had a very calm night last night with winds in the 5 mph range. Yesterday, the West Bay weather station at Turtle Crossing picked up .03 of an inch of rain around noon, but no other gauges on the island picked up any.

Today we will have a north breeze around 5 mph and seas at 1 foot (.3 meters). Late tonight and tomorrow morning, there will be a small chance of a shower with winds that are almost calm and seas 1-2 feet. Thursday morning there is also a small chance of a shower and northeast winds 10-15 mph. Friday and Saturday are days when there will be a good chance of picking up a shower. Mid to late next week also looks to be a period of scattered showers. Have a great Tuesday!

April 18, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Finally some calmer conditions are ahead, and a few chances at rain.

Today we will have winds at 7-10 mph and seas around 1 foot (.3 meters). We will have mostly sunny skies and highs around 87 (30c).

Tomorrow winds will be even calmer at 4-7 mph and seas still 1 foot.

Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning we will have maybe a 40 percent chance of a shower. Winds will be back around 10 mph during the day and 15 mph at night from the east/northeast and seas 1-2 feet (.3 to .6 meters).

Thursday morning the rain chance will be down to around 20 percent, but Friday morning it will be back up to around 40 percent. Have a great week!

April 16, 2022: Good morning! There are a few clouds to our east that will move over us around midday. I can’t rule out a stray shower somewhere, but the chances are low. Otherwise winds will be from the east 15 mph during the day and 20 mph at night, with seas 2-3 feet (.6-1 meter).

Tomorrow skies should be clear with east/northeast winds 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet.

Tuesday through Thursday winds should be in the 5-10 mph range with seas at 1 foot (.3 meters). Toward the weekend will start seeing some morning rain chances. Have a great weekend!

April 15, 2022: A very short forecast on a very special day. Winds will slowly moderate over the next few days: 15-20 mph Saturday, 12-17 mph on Sunday, 10-15 mph Monday and finally some quite calm days Tuesday and Wednesday when winds are 5-10 mph and seas get down to 1 feet (.3 meters) for the first time in awhile. Also on Tuesday and Wednesday there will be a small chance of rain. The end of the month looks better for some rain chances. Have a great Friday.

April 14, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Boy was it windy last night! We got up to 36 mph here on Jonesville Point, and it stayed in the 30 mph range for most of the evening.

The good news is that the winds should start calming. The bad news is there isn’t any rain in sight, but that should be expected in April.

Today we will have clear skies and east winds at 20 mph and seas at 4 feet (1.3 meters). Tonight winds will be around 25 mph and seas at 6 feet (2 meters).

Tomorrow winds will be similar, but Saturday winds are a bit calmer, around 15 mph in the daytime and 20 mph at night. By Monday the winds will be 12-14 mph during the day and at night. Tuesday and Wednesday winds will be around 10 mph. As the winds calm, the temperatures will feel hotter, though they should stay in the mid 80s for highs.

Tomorrow we remember the greatest act of love in human history. If you are interested in an in-person or online observance of this important day that will take place tomorrow evening here on the island, feel free to WhatsApp me at +504 9475-4406. Have a great day!

April 11, 2022: Good (wet) morning, Roatan! Looks like the rain we were promised Sunday actually came Monday morning. One location in Sandy Bay has picked up more than an inch, with half an inch at Larry Rapp’s place in West Bay and .81 in West End. Here on Jonesville Point, we’re at a quarter of an inch at 7:30 a.m. and counting.

The rain may continue a little longer into the morning, but should eventually clear out, giving us a partly cloudy afternoon. Winds will pick up from the east to 15-20 mph, rising to 25 mph after nightfall. Seas will be 3-4 feet (1 to 1.3 meters). After today, the weather turns much more boring, with TRW (Typical Roatan Weather) of strong east winds, clear skies and warm temps near 90 during the day. Have a great week!

April 10, 2022: Good morning, Roatan. Most of us missed out on the rain lottery yesterday, with most locations getting just a few hundredths of an inch on Roatan. Most of the rain missed us to the west, with Utila getting .74 of an inch, while some location near San Pedro Sula got 3-4 inches. Our big winners were Punta Blanca with a third of an inch and Politilly and Coral View with a quarter of an inch. We will have a small chance of rain between midnight tonight and sunrise tomorrow, and that is the last chance of rain we will have for the week.

Today winds will be from the east/northeast at 15-18 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter). Temps should be a little lower than normal for April in the mid 80s (around 30C).

After the chance of rain early tomorrow morning, we should return to TRW (Typical Roatan Weather), with winds around 20 mph during the day and gusting to 30 mph at night, clear skies and hot temperatures getting close to 90 (32C).

This is a week to think about the greatest gift ever given to mankind — the ransom. Matthew 20:28. Have a great week!

April 9, 2022: Good morning Roatan. If you’re like me, you woke up at 5:45 to bright sunshine and wondered if the forecast had fooled us. As you can see from the radar image at 7 a.m., most of the rain is to our north and west, but the computers still say most of us will get wet today. Even as I write this, we’re getting a shower on Jonesville Point. We will have a chance of rain throughout the day, but totals should generally be higher the further west you go. The clouds will keep the temperatures down in the 70s to around 80 (24-26C)

Sunday looks like a nice day, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80s (28C), a bit cooler than we’ve been experiencing.

Monday morning there is a chance of a shower, but after that we are back to strong east winds, sunny skies and heat back into the upper 80s. Have a great weekend!

April 8, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! It has been quite hazy and, of course, quite hot. But relief is in sight. As you can see in the satellite image, a front is on the way that promises rain late tonight and tomorrow. Today we will a hazy mix of sun and clouds. Winds will shift from the east to the northeast this afternoon around 15 mph. Chances of rain start after midnight tonight and continue through the day tomorrow. Saturday the winds may pick up to 20 mph from the northeast and make for some choppy seas and make it feel quite cool, compared to our recent heat. Temperatures should be in the mid 70s (22-24C).

Sunday we will have partly to mostly cloudy skies with a very low rain chance, but rain should come back Sunday night into Monday morning before leaving for good.

After Monday morning, we will quickly return to TRW (Typical Roatan Weather) with 20 mph east winds, clear skies and temperatures in the upper 80s (30-31C) for the rest of the holiday week. Have a great Friday!

April 6, 2022: Good morning, Roatan! Sorry for missing yesterday, but I don’t think I missed much except a whole lot of sun and heat. The same is in store today. Most temperatures are showing at right around 90 (32C). As I’ve mentioned before, temperature on Roatan is mostly a function of clouds and when there aren’t many, it will get hot.

Winds should be around 15 mph today with 3 foot seas (1 meter) and 25 mph tonight with 4 foot seas (1.3 meters).

Tomorrow winds should be a tad calmer as our front approaches, (12 mph during the day and about 17 mph at night).

Friday we will have increasing clouds and a small chance of rain.

Friday night winds turn to the northeast. Over the weekend we will have decent chances of rain, a lot of clouds and northeast winds at 10-15 mph. Rain chances continue through Monday morning. Have a great Wednesday!
