Weather on the Island of Roatan

Hi everyone, our warm October has now begun to turn into our cooler November. On Tuesday we had our first “Northerner”. For those not familiar with Roatan’s weather this is a frontal passage that sweeps down from the U.S. through the Gulf of Mexico and into the western Caribbean. Usually these fronts approach with big rain storms and pass through leaving cooler temperatures and blue sky. Such was the case with this first one of the season.

On Tuesday night it started raining and dumped enough to overflow my 6″ rain gauge. Then from Wednesday morning to Thursday morning we had another 3″ of rain. Now the weather is picture perfect with blue sky and fluffy clouds and a westerly breeze at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This is one of my favorite times of the year on the island.

Come on down for a visit! Philip
