From Belmopan...

The Caribbean winds continue from the East-by-South, developing lines of white clouds as it crosses over the warming land. There is some high level coming down from the NNE which has caused some rain in parts of southern Belize.

Looks like today will be mainly sunny with white clouds, only a small chance of any rain, but more so this evening.


Temperatures in Belmopan :
( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Tue max. 31°C 88°F Last night min. 25°C 76°F

This morning storm predictions and pictures.

HURRICANE IRMA passed right over Barbuda last night and the southern part of Anguilla and right over Saint-Martin, its mountains, some about 300m ( 1,000 ft ) high, caused some collapsing of the eye, and now the eye is wobbling and not yet reformed.


Note : H Irma is not moving due west, it is the picture that is angled, see the long/lat. lines.
[ The US Navy forgot to mark Barbuda on their map. So I have added it ]


Be aware that track is only a prediction.

From BVI during the eye. Heartbreaking. The boats may be run by charter companies but they're owned by private individuals and the loss is huge. Hopefully no one was hurt. https://www.passagemaker.com/lifestyle/irma-tortola

News from Barbuda is that 95% of buildings damaged. PM says the island is "barely habitable" and they are looking down the barrel of Jose. The BBC tape brought me to tears.

Hope there were few fatalities and injuries. I booked a boat there for the middle of Nov. but it isn't looking good from those pictures. I'll wait a week or two before I make any inquires. They have their hands full right now and I'm sure most communications are out. I spent a lot of time there in the 90's with my family; my wife and I honeymooned there on a boat in 85 and now that they are grown and have families we where going to let their spouses have a real Caribbean sailing experience. If not this year then it probably won't happen at all with them wanting more children and other family obligations.

Still though, the Island people are resilient and if possible they will back up on the feet and in business.
