Things are still on the green side but the eastern end is starting to brown out. I see farmers gathering greens for their live stock, a sure sign things are dry. We'll see how things look at end of month. Attached the 2010 weather data for those interested. Thanks, Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" Attachment: 2010 - Weather Data.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document __________________________________________________________________]]> Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:15:15 EST http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/nevis.shtml http://stormcarib.com/reports/current/nevis.shtml?id=1265714115_84447 stormCARIB * Date: Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:28:43 -0400 Plants are drooping, the water in the streams is dropping and many lawns are brown. Up in the forests it still looks green, but for how long? Here in the South we haven't seen any rain for about 3 weeks, and very little then. We are hearing of water shortages in Guyana and Jamaica. There is talk here of drought conditions in Grenada if this keeps up. But I have heard that there are restrictions on chopping trees down unnecessarily. Trees give shade and cool the air. They absorb Carbon Dioxide. So why do people clear the whole plot before starting to build? We asked our builder to leave any trees that were not in the way of the construction. This didn't stop him destroying half the garden by throwing rocks and spoil down the plot. It is now very difficult to get anything to grow there Although many of the trees have lost most of their leaves, the first good rains and most will burst into leaf and we will get the shade back - if you have kept the trees! The weather radar shows no rain anywhere from above Antigua to South of Grenada. The satellite images show dry air far into the Atlantic. Meanwhile the US and Europe are getting much colder than normal conditions. Global Warming - more accurately Climate change. I for one believe it. Lets hope some rain comes soon, for the plants sake. All the best to you and hope you are enjoying the Independence weekend.
