The current situation at Providenciales is overcast skies with thunder and lightning and a squall of rain. Wind gust in this first band of rain was clocked at 36.0 mph. I hope this is not the last of the rain from Fay.

The storm is well to the south of the Turks and Caicos. We wish our friends in the DR and Haiti a safe journey through the night. We will be watching out for your updates.

Stay safe!

- POISED FOR RAIN?

Since my last entry we have almost forgotten what it is like to have rain. The days have been hot and humid and at times unbearable. Thank God for the cooler turquoise sea lapping our shores.

With the strengthening tropical system to the ESE our prospects are beginning to look brighter. There is an element of unpredictability when it comes to weather in these parts and so we will wait to see what happens next.

Providenciales is currently experiencing sunny skies with scattered clouds, Temp: 96.0 °F, Heat Index:116 °F, Winds:14.0 to 15.0 mph from the ENE, Barometric Pressure: 29.99 in.

There are confirmed reports of rain in the Nation's Capital earlier today. There are also reports

of some government offices are being fitted with storm shutters.It is quite likely that the mountains of Hispaniola will have a significant impact on this system and so...

A pleasant afternoon. A mid/upper level low to the northwest of the islands will influence our weather conditions later today. Scattered showers and possible thundershowers are expected this afternoon and into the night. We are giving thanks for every drop of rain that gets squeezed out of the clouds as they pass by us. Residents in the Capital were more than happy for the rain they got this week.

Current conditions: Temp.: 88°F, Pressure: 30.06 inches (falling), Wind direction: SSE

- It's Raining Again

After a long dry period we are finally getting rain. Moisture in the region has resulted in afternoon showers for the past week. We have even had thunderstorms over the larger islands at times. The rain is welcome. In addition to all the other things it helps us forget how hot the days are if only for a while.
