The Caribbean Sea
The gradient between high pressure near the Florida Peninsula and
lower pressure in the southern Caribbean is supporting fresh to
locally strong NE winds in the Windward Passage, offshore
Colombia, and in the lees of Cuba and Hispaniola. Moderate to
fresh NE winds dominate elsewhere, except gentle winds are
impacting SE Caribbean waters. Seas are generally 4-6 ft
throughout the basin, with the exception of the Mona and Anegada
Passages, where northerly swell originating from the central
Atlantic is increasing seas to 6-8 ft.
For the forecast, deepening low pressure across the central
Atlantic during the next few days will maintain NE winds across
much of the basin, and fresh to locally strong NE winds through
the Caribbean Passages, in the lees of the Greater Antilles, and
offshore Colombia into Fri. Large NE swell across the central
Atlantic will move through the Caribbean Passages and Tropical
Atlantic waters into the weekend, with highest seas tonight into
Fri night.
On Ambergris Caye this morning we have an 18 mph wind from the East creating rough sea conditions on our barrier reef. The expected high temperature for today is in the low 80's.
This same strange weather is continuing, but the high level stuff causing the rains is still around but more of it moving further south over Honduras. There is a large rotation over the north Atlantic, which is where some of the Caribbean winds are coming from. There is only a vague rotation over North America, right up to the pole, but no indication yet, that any of that will come down our way, it should be by now, but hasn't.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, but there could still be the odd rain shower, more likely down south.
Last Night 24 °C 74 °F Yesterday max. 29 °C 85 °F Yesterday Rain 3.8 mm ( 0.15 " ) Over Night Rain 3.0 mm ( 0.12 " ) Humidity 79% Pressure 1019 mBar hPa
