May 31, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We got a little relief from the heat yesterday with clouds that stuck around most of the day. Even so our high temperature was 90F (32C) and the heat index was 98F (37C). This morning we have clouds coming from the west, but no rain on radar. Winds will continue to be light, perhaps 5-10 mph mostly from the west with 1-2 foot seas. We’re stuck in a dry cycle and there’s not much except the very small chance of a stray morning shower to break it. Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning Bay Islands! This morning we’ve been a little cooler because we’ve been in the clouds. Unfortunately not much in the way of any rain. I had one report of a few sprinkles on Guanaja, but that was it. You can also see in the satellite that we are about to get more sun, so the afternoon will be hot again. We will continue with the mild winds and seas. I’m a bit hopeful that someone will see a morning shower tomorrow morning or perhaps Thursday morning. After that our rain chances go away through the weekend. Low tide is 11:24 a.m. Have a great Tuesday!

May 29, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Looks like the kids are headed back to school and this morning they have a northeast breeze at 15 mph to cool them off, which is not much, but more than we’ve been having recently. Seas are 2 feet on the south side and 1 foot on the northside. Our high temperature yesterday at the airport was 88F (31C) with a heat index of 100F (38C).
Skies are still hazy and there isn’t a whole lot to say about rain chances, except the chance of a morning shower might go up A LITTLE on Wednesday and Thursday morning. But we will stay mostly dry and winds will continue around 10 mph during the day and 15 mph at night, with seas 1-2 feet. Low tide is 10:52 a.m. Have a great week!

May 27, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We’re still watching the northern sky to see if we can get a shower over the island, perhaps around 9 a.m. If so, consider yourself fortunate. After that we will have partly sunny skies and dry conditions. We should have small chances of early morning showers through Wednesday. After that, I’m afraid things look completely dry again.
Winds will be light today and tomorrow, 5-10 mph and seas 1 foot, Monday and Tuesday will be a little breezier with winds 10-17 mph and seas around 2 feet. After that winds and seas look calm. We are in a mostly dry and very hot cycle that doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. Let’s hope we can pull in some of these morning showers the next few days. Low tides are 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Bay Islands. Again this morning we have a few showers on radar, to our north and also to our west near Puerto Cortes, but it is unlikely that we will see a morning shower today. Our seas are a little higher. We are just a little over one foot here on Jonesville Point. Today winds will remain light and variable and seas will be around 1 foot. Tonight for the first time in a while, our winds will get up to 17 mph and seas to 2 feet. Tomorrow morning we have a 1 in 5 chance of seeing a shower. Into next week we will continue to have small chances of early morning showers. Let’s hope we get one.
Starting Sunday winds will be from the east 10-15 mph and seas at 2 feet.
Low tides will be 9:17 a.m. and 9:08 p.m. but will not be all that low.
Have a great Friday!

May 25, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands! This morning we have something on radar we haven’t had in a while. A few showers in the Caribbean to our north, and especially to our northeast.

My guess is that the Swan Islands got a nice shower this morning. None of this should affect us, as we will continue mostly sunny and calm.

We will start getting a LITTLE bit higher nighttime winds tomorrow night, with 15 mph winds and seas maybe between 1-2 feet, but we will still be calmer than normal for much of the week ahead.
Tomorrow night into Saturday morning we will have a SMALL chance of a nighttime or early morning shower. Those nighttime/morning chances of showers will continue into next week. Low tide is 8:09 p.m., but our low tides right now aren’t too low. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning Bay Islands. We wake up to clear skies, light and variable winds and seas at 1 foot here on Jonesville Point, which is about a foot higher than it was yesterday. Winds and seas will stay calm and the sky will stay dry. We are still hoping for small chances of nighttime showers starting Friday night. Low tide is 7:04 p.m. Have a great Wednesday!

May 23, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. Our Caribbean is more like a small pond this morning with calm seas and winds. We will continue like this until Friday night when we get 10-15 mph and 2 foot (.6 meter) seas. Still not bad all the way through this weekend. No chance of rain until Friday night either. Starting Friday night we will start getting small nightly rain chances. Low tide is 6 p.m. Have a great Tuesday.

Good morning Bay Islands. We awake to calm winds and seas. These beautiful, but dry, conditions will last the rest of this week. Friday night we start getting small chances of rain back in the forecast. Because the forecast is kind of boring, I thought I would answer a reader’s question.

Because the forecast is kind of boring, I thought I would answer a reader’s question. David Trawick asks: What does it mean for the average person when we talk about high and low tide?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the earth. The side of the earth is pulled toward the moon, and the opposite side from the moon bulges up. These are the two high tides. The sun also contributes to this bulge, which is why the tides are more extreme during full moons and new moons, when the moon and sun are aligned. We’re in new moon phase now, so our low tide at 5:02 p.m. will be lower than the average low tide. Have a great week!

May 21, 2023: Good morning Bay Islands. We wake up to calm winds and seas. Believe it or not, West End got .01 of an inch around midday yesterday, hardly enough to get the ground wet. We have a few clouds around and can’t rule out a shower somewhere, but if anyone gets one, it will be short. We’ll be mostly dry and continue calm today. Scattered rain chances come back next weekend. Low tide is 4:12 p.m. Have a great Sunday!
