Hi,

 

As we watched Earl and Fiona passing the windward islands, especially Saba for my family lives over there, Aruba was hot and humid.

We did not get any rain, but when I woke this morning it was overcastted and my chairs outside on the porch were wet.

Looking at the satellite I don’t think we will get too much sun today.

 

Still praying for the people on the other islands.

Hi,

 

The past two weeks we had some good showers on the island, but the temperature is high.

Watching Danielle disappear to the north and seeing Earl coming.

 

But looking at “My Satellite”  is not what I like.

I hope it is wrong, but it looks like if Earl is moving to the Caribbean sea in the direction of Barbados and the mainland of Venezuela.

Then it looks like that Aruba will also get her share of Earl.

 

Anyhow I will keep a close watch on this Earl and come back as soon as I know more.

Good morning,
 
Since last night we started to see and hear the lighting and thunder.
 
I just woke up and saw that we had some rain last night or early morning.
The sky is still cloudy, so we might get some more rain during the day.
 
I hope we get some more rain, cause it had been very hot these last couple of days.
The plants out there will be also very happy to finally get some water for a change.
 
This is the beginning of the season, so start to check and do the repairs where it's needed.
 
Take care, be good, be safe and stay sweet.
 
Raquel.

Hi there,
 
Yesterday we finally started to get some rain. It was clouded the whole day, with some showers so now and then. I guess we can expect more of these kind of weather during this season. You can notice already that the plants are starting to get greener.
Today it was very hot and humid, that's what you get after a rainy day.
 
I hope the people here on the Island are ready for any unexpected situation.
Please be prepared, start to walk around your house to check what you have that can become a danger for yourself in case of any bad weather. Anything loose, which can become a flying object is dangerous.
 
Well folks, take care, be safe, be good and stay sweet.
 
Raquel.

Hi,

 

Well at last Paradera had some rain yesterday and this morning.

But the sun is there shining again and it is already 35 degrC.

It was good for the island but way too little.

You see the palm trees getting browner and browner.

For me the WEB will get more money the end of the month, for I don’t like my palm trees to get too dry, so I water them twice a week extra although I have a drip system.

 

We will keep an eye on the weather stations and satellites and read the prognoses from the experts.

Good evening,
 
After having no sun since yesterday, we finally did get some showers on the Island this morning. The weather is suppose to be the same by tomorrow. Cloudy with little or no wind. It's been very hot and humid these last 2 days. The rain this morning was more than welcome.
 
The hurricane season is not here yet, so start to get ready.
 
Take care, be good, be safe and stay sweet.
 
Will keep you posted.
Raquel.

Hi,

 

Well at last it is raining.

Only hope it will last a bit longer for the island, because it is dry and the trees and plants don’t look nice.

When I checked the satellite, it seems a big area, but you never know.

Just when I started to type this message it stopped already.

It is still overcast and you still can hear the thunder, but……………….no more rain.

Hi there,

 

It was terrible the last few days.

Temperature at Paradera was/is between 35 and 38 ˚C and the humidity is around the 60 and 70.

Had no serious rain for months now and checking the satellite I see something heading our island.

I hope it will be plenty rain as the island needs it and will sure drop the temperature a good bit.

 

Sorry for the tourists but for the  elderly people of the island it is better that the temperature will drop a little bit.

Will keep you posted.

 

Roy
