As you see in the photo, the wind and surf on the north side brought down the palapa at La Sireña in Camp Bay. I’m sure Jimmy Andrade and the crew will have it up and running in no time.

We have a wide range of rainfall from 6 a.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. today, but everyone got wet:
Utila just under 5 inches
West Bay 1.40
Sandy Bay .85
Mud Hole 1.00
Coral View 2.46
First Bight just over 3 inches
Politilly 2.63
Lucy Point 2.66
Camp Bay 2.50

Today we will have showers especially in the morning, but getting fewer as the day goes along. We’ll have mostly cloudy skies in the morning but should see more sun in the afternoon. Winds will be from the east/northeast at 10-15 mph and seas at 2-3 feet (.6 to 1 meter) on the north side.

Tomorrow we will have partly cloudy skies and nice conditions. There will be a small chance of a light shower and winds will be from the north at 5-10 mph and seas at 1-2 feet (.3 to .6 meters).

Wednesday and Thursday will be beautiful with fairly calm winds and seas and only a slight chance of a passing

Rain builds in Friday through the weekend as our next front approaches.

Nov. 7, 2021: Most rain totals overnight were light. We got .06 of an inch around 3 a.m. Yesterday, many of us picked up a downpour around midday. Utila has had about an inch in the last 24 hours. This morning there are scattered showers on radar, mostly to our west.

We’ll have partly cloudy skies and scattered showers today. Winds will be from the north/northwest 7-12 mph and seas at 3 feet (1 meter) especially on the north side. There’s a pretty good chance of rain overnight tonight.

Tomorrow and through the midweek our rain chances go down. Monday we will have north winds 12-17 mph and seas will stay a bit choppy on the north side, but starting Tuesday we will have picture-perfect weather — mostly clear skies, comfortable temperatures, light winds, calmer seas and a very low chance of a passing shower.

Next weekend is looking pretty stormy as another cold front comes near. This is getting to be a cycle of weekend rain and weekday nice weather, but I’m not complaining.

Nov. 6, 2021: Good morning Roatan! Many of us woke up to a downpour. Larry Rapp in West Bay reports 1.9 inches overnight as of 7 a.m. Coral View got 1.27 inches. We got nearly a half inch on Lucy Point and Jimmy Andrade in Camp Bay got about 1.6 inches, most of it this morning in one squall.

Today we will continue to have scattered showers as winds increase out of the north/northwest to 15-20 mph. The computers say the seas on the north side should be 5 feet by nightfall (1.6 meters). I’m a little doubtful it will be that bad, but be ready for at least 4 feet.

Tomorrow we will have scattered light showers with north winds 12-17 mph and continued 4-foot (1.3 meter) waves on the north side.

Monday and Tuesday look like nice days with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies, much calmer north winds and seas at 2-3 feet.

Most of next week should have less rain than last week did, but the rainfall will start get heavier next weekend as another cold front approaches. It seems we are in that sort of pattern, but it is a lot better than heat and drought. Have a great weekend!

Nov. 5, 2021: Good morning Roatan! We awoke to scattered clouds and the radar shows scattered showers to the west, around Utila. Today we will have scattered showers with west/northwest winds 10-15 mph and seas 1-2 feet.

Tomorrow we’ll have a very good chance of rain throughout the day as our front passes through. Winds will be brisk, 15-22 mph from the north. Seas will start out the morning around 3 feet (1 meter), and end the day at 4-5 feet (1.3 to 1.5 meters), especially on the north side, so be careful out there.

Sunday the rain chances come down but winds stay up at around 15-20 mph from the north and seas remain around 4 feet (1.3 meters).

The first part of next week will be partly cloudy with occasional light rain or mist and quite fresh temperatures. Have a great Friday!

Nov. 4, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! This morning the west side of the island got rain — half an inch in West Bay, .87 at SOL in Sandy Bay, .92 at Casa Mariposa Azul in Sandy Bay, but only small amounts further east.
I know all of this thanks to Claro, and no thanks to Max which has been out for 14 HOURS! Their only response has been “the node in the sector has been affected,” whatever that means.
We’ll have a chance of rain today, mostly in the morning under partly cloudy skies. Winds will be from the west today at 7-12 mph and seas at 1-2 feet (.3 to .6 meters).

Tonight and tomorrow morning we’ll have another good chance of rain. Tomorrow the winds will be from the north/northwest at 10-15 mph and seas at 2-3 feet (.6 to 1 meter).

Saturday may be quite rainy as a cold front approaches from the north. Seas may get up a bit too, into the 4 foot (1.3 meter) range.
Behind the front on Sunday we’ll have north winds 15-20 mph, a chance of light rain and cool temperatures.
Have a great Thursday!

Nov. 3, 2021: Good morning, Roatan. We’ve had a very Roatan sort of rain, the kind that comes mostly at night. We picked up 3.25 inches on Lucy Point since yesterday morning, which is the highest total I’ve found on the island. West Bay picked up .90 and Utila’s had about an inch. Most locations mid-island had about 2 inches.
We missed out on the rain during the day yesterday because it was mostly north of us.

Today we are in the midst of the storm system and will have a chance of rain throughout the day. Winds may pick up a bit from the southwest this afternoon.

Tomorrow the rain will be more widely scattered, so our chance of rain will go down to around 40 percent with northwest winds at 7-12 mph. Rain chances go back up to around 70 percent Friday and Saturday. A cold front should come on Sunday with more rain, north winds and cool temperatures. Have a great Wednesday!

Nov. 2, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We all woke up to a nice steady rain and cool temperatures. Most of us received between a quarter and a half inch of rain by 7 a.m. and that’s just the beginning. The satellite shows that the majority of the rain is still to our east and will move over us today. We will have fairly light northwest winds around 5-10 mph. Tomorrow the rain continues, though I don’t expect it to be quite as much as today. Winds will continue fairly light and will vary in their direction.

Wednesday may be the day this week we see the most sun and the least rain, though there will still be a good chance of scattered showers. Those rain chances persist into Sunday, when a cold front should approach. If it passes through we will have a nice, cool, dry Monday, though that isn’t a sure thing at this point. Have a great Tuesday!

Nov. 1, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We’re waking up to the same cloudy skies that we had yesterday. Today should be mostly cloudy with a small chance of a light shower. Winds will be northeast at 10 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters.)

Tomorrow is going to be quite rainy with some torrential downpours. Most of us should see 2 inches of rain Tuesday and Wednesday, but some areas may get 5 or more. Tuesday and Wednesday will be the rainiest days, but the rest of the week has chances of rain until a cold front gets here Sunday to give us another shot of cool weather. Have a great week!

Rainfall for October 2021: We recorded 5.53 inches of rain for the month, well below our average of 17.29 inches, but it is also the most rain we’ve gotten in a month since March. The forecast for this week is full of rain, so it seems that the drought is over and rainy season is with us to stay.

Oct. 31, 2021: We got down to 72 degrees this morning (22 C), but the low for the island belongs to the new SOL/Sandy Bay station with registered 70 degrees (21 C) this morning.
Today we’ll have mostly sunny skies and fairly calm winds from the north at 5-10 mph and seas 1-2 feet (.3 to .6 meters).

Tomorrow we will have northeast winds 10-15 mph and 2 foot (.6 meter) seas.

Tuesday and Wednesday will both be rainy days, with rain totals mostly forecast around 2 inches, but there is the possibility of some locations getting much more, so be careful.

There will be another cold front next Sunday, so we’ll get another shot of cool weather. Have a great Sunday!
