- Hazy Sunshine and Gusty Winds

Good afternoon,
 
It has been dry over the last few days. Today’s weather has consisted of hazy sunshine with gusty winds, with some of the gusts are very strong.  There was also a whirlwind that scooted across my yard causing leaves to be lifted up and spun into the air.
 
A view to the south west looking out across the Caribbean Sea – yes honest it is out there!
 
Regards,

- OK enough of this stuff

Seems like everyone in the Caribbean chain of islands is sick of the continuous cloudy, rain showery weather that's been happening for s few weeks now.
I'm wondering when the sun will shine on Nevis again?

Regards,

Harry

Good afternoon,

The showery weather continues in Nevis with an associated gusty easterly wind during and just before a shower arrives. The cistern is full and everywhere is green.

A couple of pictures showing Saddle Hill during and after a recent shower.

Regards,

Frank.

- Overcast with rain

Good morning,

After a couple of reasonable days weatherwise, today so far has been overcast with some heavy showers/prolonged periods of rain. We had some brisk winds yesterday which have calmed down today. So today is pretty damp with the sun making an attempt to break through the cloud.

Picture attached.

Regards,

Frank

- Hot and Humid

Good afternoon,

At about 3am this morning we had some heavy rain falling for about one and a half hours, so first thing this morning was pretty damp. So far today it has been mostly cloudy with some hazy sunshine. The easterly wind has dropped so it is quite still and feels humid. A photo added looking towards the south-west coast of the Island.

Regards,

Frank

- Thunder and Showers

Good afternoon,
 
Today it has been showers in Nevis with some thunder and a short electricity outage at 11 am. It has been overcast so far today and at present (1:30 pm) we are having one of those long heavy showers with blustery winds to start with. Not a day for being outside, even the dogs have taken shelter inside today, which is unusual!
 
Picture of the rain is attached.
 
Regards,
 
Frank

- Roll Call :)

Good morning everyone,

1st June and the start of another hurricane season and this one is forecast to be busy.

Today Nevis started with early morning showers with a couple being heavy. A good gusty breeze is blowing today and the overcast sky is breaking up a bit to let some hazy sunshine through.

The rain we had during May has returned the Island back to its lush green self.

Attached is a picture taken today of the cloud over Saddle Hill.

Regards,

Frank

- End of Draught
  • From: "Harry W. Hallstrom" <hwh888 at gmail.com>

Greetings,

Guess it's safe to say the 3 month drought has ended. Getting a lot of rain this month. As the saying goes "April showers bring May flowers".
Sure will be a bumper crop of Mango's this summer. Just about every tree is covered with flower buds. Pretty to look at in the bush but not so pretty in your garden. Flower buds plugging up cistern downspouts, pool dirty everyday, raking garden 2-3 times a week from bud stems. Ah life in paradise, I'll take it thank you.

Regards,

Harry
