Nov. 14, 2021: Good morning, Roatan. We didn’t get as much rain as we thought we were going to. Showers about noon and 7:30 p.m. gave Politilly and Coral View about a quarter of an inch yesterday. Politilly also picked up .18 about 2:45 this morning.

We are still looking for scattered showers under partly cloudy skies the next three days. Rain will be more widespread at night. It just depends on where you are as to how much you are going to get. That’s the nature of these tropical downpours. Some people get 3 inches and some people get nothing. Winds today will be from the northwest at 7-12 mph and even calmer tomorrow and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we will have a lower chance of rain. Have a great Sunday!

Nov. 13, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! As you can see in the radar and feel if you walk outside, there are rain showers around. Most of us got between half an inch and an inch this morning. The showers north of the island are generally moving southwest, so there will be a good chance of rain today. This is life in the tropics in the rainy season and it looks like we will be dealing with off and on rain through Tuesday. Winds will be fairly calm, but what winds we have will come from the west/northwest. I always love snorkeling and diving in this sort of weather, because the sea is pretty calm and you’re already going to get wet anyway 🙂
Have a great weekend!

The only action on the satellite this morning is some rain to the northwest of Utila which passed through that island earlier this morning, giving Mark Andrade .80 of an inch of rain there. Other than that we are partly cloudy across the Bay Islands this morning.

Today looks like a pretty good day with partly cloudy skies, light winds, calm seas and only a small chance of a passing shower. Tonight into tomorrow morning we will have a good chance of rain.

Tomorrow we’ll have partly cloudy skies and a chance of a shower with northwest winds 5-10 mph, but seas still fairly calm.

This theme will repeat through about Tuesday, with fairly calm winds and seas and about a 40 chance of getting a shower during the day and about a 60 percent chance at night. After Tuesday things look a little drier for a couple of days.

Nov. 11, 2021: Good morning Roatan! Yesterday we were socked in with low clouds and couldn’t get out of the rain. Pretty much everybody got a half inch, but Coral View and First Bight got a little over an inch.
Today we are back to partly cloudy skies and calm winds and seas. Today will be a beautiful day, much like Tuesday was.

Friday through Sunday we’ll have scattered showers under partly to mostly cloudy skies and calm seas and winds. This time the cold front is stalling north of us, so we won’t get the north winds we’ve gotten with the last few cold fronts.

Monday and Tuesday look very rainy right now. Enjoy this beautiful Thursday!

Nov. 10, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! Most of us got a shower this morning around 5 a.m. Rain totals ranged from .65 of an inch in West Bay to a third of an inch in Sandy Bay, about a half inch at Coral View, but here on Lucy Point we only recorded .01.

This morning we have some low clouds that bring a chance of a shower through the morning. We’ll have north winds 5-10 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meter) on the north side. This afternoon should be partly cloudy. There’s a pretty good chance of a shower overnight tonight.

Tomorrow rain chances should be low, with light winds and seas at 1 foot (.3 meters)

Friday the chance of scattered showers goes back up and we’ll have a rain chance through the weekend, though winds and seas will remain fairly calm. Right now, Monday and Tuesday look particularly rainy. Have a great Wednesday!

Nov. 9, 2021: Good morning, Roatan! We awoke to partly cloudy skies and the first sunshine we’ve had in a while. Radar shows a few showers west of Utila, but moving toward Puerto Cortes and away from us. The big news is we got down to 70 degrees (21 C), the coolest we’ve had all season. We are already at 81 (27 C) at 7 a.m., but the dewpoint is 68 (20 C), meaning the air is relatively dry and comfortable.

Today will be partly cloudy with north winds 7-12 mph and seas at 2 feet (.6 meters) on the north side.

Wednesday and Thursday winds and seas will be quite calm. Though temperatures will get in the mid-80s, dewpoints will stay fairly low, meaning that the air will feel light and fresh.

Rain returns Friday through the weekend, but it is looking like it will be less than what we experienced this past weekend. Have a great week!

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!
