- Strange weather

Its been a day of mixed weather here in SVG at least in different parts of the island,last night there were reports of very heavy and continues rains in the northern part of the island  while very little was in the south,today was rather warm with cloudy conditions during morning hours becoming generally fair by midday and afternoon.

Looks like lots of clouds are going to be moving in from the west during the next 24 hours or so, this may provide us with a good chance of some showers tomorrow into thursday, i guess we will have to see how that works out.


Remember to start your preparations early for the 2012 hurricane season!

2:00 pm on Friday, 20th April, 2012.

However, moisture levels will remain reasonably high, until early next week where only some scattered showers will be expected during this time.
 
Residents in flood prone areas should exercise caution and remain on the alert.
 
All concerned should take the necessary precautions.

- Quiet year?
  • By "Colvin \"Koolkidd\" Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:51:37 +0100 (BST)
Hello Stormcarib friends,after being somewhat MIA for the last few months with this site i have been coming and reading posts from various islands, keep up the good work fellow storm carib-ers :) , it was another  beautiful day here in SVG today a few sprinkles this morning and some heavy showers overnight but a pleasant day overall, its cool at the moment with a light breeze and a few showers on and off .

The predictions are for this year to be below average, i hope that it indeed it is because in these times we cant afford to have another Storm/Hurricane pass through the islands ,we look forward to the follow up predictions by the DR and his team and pray for the best in the upcoming hurricane season which is coming ever so close to us .

Until my next post ...have a great one friends!

- High winds in SVG
  • By Haniff Sutherland <hanniff at gmail.com>
  • Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:43:33 -0400
I have noticed an increase in the frequency of high wind gusts in SVG,
some farmers have reported damage to crops, especially on the leeward
side of the island. The cold fronts which move down at this time of
the year seem to linger uncomfortably, coupled with a supposed shift
of the earth's magnetic north will make for an interesting year.

It's not too late to wish everyone a very happy new year, and to let
all my fellow stormcarib colleagues know that today is Colvin Harry's
birthday, he is a regular contributor to the St Vincent page of this
site.

Wish him happy birthday on his Facebook wall.

- Overcast...Rain...Thunderstorms..
  • By "Colvin \"Koolkidd\" Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:15:50 +0100 (BST)
Its been overcast since mid morning with some strong thunderstorm activity in Kingstown, still over cast with some on and off showers moving in, seems like our weather will be unsettled for the rest of the day,so will see what happens later on.

We had some severe thunderstorms very early this morning just after 1AM which resulted in power being out on mainland St Vincent and in Bequia, almost all areas are back, there is a report that prospect is s till out due to a blown out transformer but i believe VINLEC would have already resolved this by the time of this posting.


Have a safe one all! All the best to our friends in Antigua , Barbuda and all the northern islands dealing with MARIA.

- Maria the magician
  • By Haniff Sutherland <hanniff at gmail.com>
  • Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2011 06:21:34 -0400
Maria seems to ba a magician as she performs a slight of hand, on one
hand she appears dis organized, as she seems to do a split, on the
other hand, may suddenly reappear in a totally different position from
our man made tracks. This is one lady who does not take orders! Here
in SVG, we are experiencing heavy rain, and gusty winds up to 20 Mph,
lots of thunder and lightning also.

Hope we are spared from her wrath,
Hs

- Thursday August 18th 2011 SVG Weather Info Update (Evening)
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:18:00 +0100 (BST)

Posted on August 18, 2011 by C. Harry, SVG Weather Info Admin


Its been a few days since i updated but i have been away from a computer for a while hence the reason why no updates, anyway as we look to our east and north east and all around us scattered showers are pretty much every where so its a hit or miss situation,this morning started out very bright and sunny but this afternoon we had some severe thunderstorms with intense lightning action followed by loud rumbles of thunder across most of the country those clouds have since then abated and moved out of our area allowing for clearer skies with just some slow moving high level clouds and a bit of low level patches drifting by.


As we look at the outlook for this weekend, computer models are now hitching onto the newly formed INVEST 97L which is over 1000 miles  east of the island chain around 15North 40West, already above our latitude , some models put it just north of Barbados as a significant system others are more reserved and take it through the northern islands but if it does develop it will impact our weather over the weekend with squalls and possible rough seas.So we just keep a close eye on it for any sort of developments .


Tonight through tomorrow we run a 40% chance of a shower or two with the moisture around and Saturday and Sunday our chances are up a little higher all depending on if this system develops or not which we shall confirm in the coming day or two.For now we will jsut keep a close eye on it.Will do that for you.

Thats about it for now

- Tuesday August 16th Evening Update SVG Weather Tid-Bit
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 05:01:53 +0100 (BST)

Looking back at today,with mostly clear skies few clouds drifting by and warm temperatures not a bad day after all weather-wise,the kind of day you will want for things like picnics or beach trips or one of those goat cooks,that’s if you don’t have work to go to..sea temps are relatively warm so it rather comfortable in the water and seas were around 1.5 meters safe enough for the experienced swimmer.


Looking at the outlook for tomorrow and beyond,satellite photos indicate patchy showers around our general area which will allow for some rather unsettled cloudy weather tomorrow,INVEST 93L is to the west and moving quickly away leaving behind this “blobette” just east of the leewards




and northern windwards,this may expand and provide us with a good chance of some showers once it keeps at it most likely tomorrow during the mid morning to early afternoon,we may well even see some showers though scattered in the wee hours of Wednesday morning,we run a 40% chance of showers and possible isolated thunderstorms through tomorrow and 30 percent on Thursday when some sense of normality at 20% on Friday into Saturday,though the weather for the weekend may change at anytime.



On a final note of interest,the eastern Atlantic seems to be coming alive with several areas of interest and computer forecast models have been steady on predicting a strong system through the islands this weekend or early next week which may be spawned by one of those waves in the Atlantic at the moment,i wont get to excited on that just yet except to say that the GFS which is the more reliable puts a strong tropical storm t through Barbados and over St Vincent and the Grenadines around Monday but these things can be off by hundreds of miles at times and even on intensity can be way to generous so i wouldn’t bank on all of these models,Just keep in mind to be prepared in the eventuality, will of course keep you posted daily on whats happening in the topics and around SVG.

- Special Update : Monday 15th August – INVEST 93L is back
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:46:09 +0100 (BST)

 

Special Update : Monday 15th August – INVEST 93L is back

Well seems no one can accurately predict these things since they have a mind of there own, INVEST 93L has returned from the dead and WOW! has it returned with a vengeance, the showers and thunderstorms  have gotten really expansive in the last few hours and this may change the weather outlook for today.

Lets see what it looks like on satellite this morning

Notice showers have redeveloped and about to move into the islands.as of this morning 93L was said to be at 13.5 North 56.4 West and moving west

 

So as it looks today, the lower end of 93L should brush us, as you notice it has winds of 30MPH so the winds may be above normal at times near showers we will run a 80% chance of showers today and down to 60% later tonight with possibly 60 % tomorrow morning once it hangs around for a bit, it may not become a tropical depression before the axis crosses us but still a possibility so keep visiting once anything changes for the worst will update you!

Thats the latest update for this morning !

- Saturday 13th August Evening SVG Weather Tid-bit
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 03:47:03 +0100 (BST)

What a hot day it was again, at least most of it , then later today in the glorious sunshine came a sprinkle of rain,but that wasn’t all within 30 minutes it had become partly cloudy and the rain began to cool things down big time,it remained mostly cloudy beyond sunset and as i type this report…its raining on the outside,just the kind of rain you will expect after a very hot day,lots of condensation and evaporation happening hence the reason for these showers.

The INVESTS parade continues with one Tropical Storm named FRANKLIN in the northern Atlantic whisking away to the North East,We have INVEST 92L, which is looking rather shabby tonight,INVEST 94L which has improved considerably and there are are hints on popular weather site weather underground that this is possibly already a Tropical Depression according to the latest ACTF.Last but by no means least there is INVEST 93L which is barely holding on to Life support at this point,however the NHC is still saying that this may regenerate before entering the islands around Monday or tuesday so we will still keep an eye on it for you.

Lets look at the latest model Guidance of where 93L will go:

The models are still very much all over the place as to where 93L will go if it does form up,but GFS which is most reliable is still tracking it through SVG and St Lucia.

 

So  as it is now,it still remains uncertain if we will get a system through us come Monday or Tuesday ,it all depends on if this system pans out or not.We would have better clarifications on that by maybe late Sunday or early Monday,so if we do have something through us it will be VERY short notice for any sort of preparations,as it is now i don’t believe we will have anything significant through us a Tropical Depression to weak tropical storm at most i would say.

As for the outlook, Partly Cloudy to cloudy weather tomorrow with a shower or two possible during the day so we run a 30% chance of showers,monday we would have atleast some showers by late afternoon and tuesday remains uncertain in terms of weather because of the possibility of this system developing.

Thats all for now! Enjoy the rest of your weekend friends!

- Friday Night August 12th SVG Weather Info Tid-Bit
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:55:07 +0100 (BST)

Brilliant sunshine was the order of the day once again today,with warm temperatures near 32 Celsius and very light breeze and it seems as though this pattern will continue at least through the weekend,certainly some good news for the beach goers  for the upcoming weekend.The Atlantic is very busy today with INVESTS 92L,93L,94L and TROPICAL DEPRESSION SIX all within the past 48 hours , however INVEST 92L and 94L and TD SIX should not impact on our weather but 93L can possibly be a player in our weather here on Tuesday so i will follow this one  very closely for you.


Lets start with some Model Data (Potential Track) Latest available :



Models at 8PM Tonight showing INVEST 93L on a possible track between Grenada and the Virgin Islands,still too far out to say but quite possible that it may pay a visit to us here in SVG, hence we should keep a watch full eye on this as the NHC and local authorities will be doing so to keep all informed,of course i will do my best to bring you information as it comes to hand on this system.


The latest position we had is at 11.6 North , 32.6 West , moving Westwards at 16MPH,the latest imagery shows it lacking convection BUT a circulation can be clearly seen on satellite,which shows that there is some sort of organization there,if this system does develop convection and shows consistency we may have a Tropical Depression by Sunday, but that’s a big if,nothing is for certain with this type of system,if it does have an impact on our weather it may not be until next Tuesday or Wednesday,but we may well see a Tropical Depression or storm in our area early next week so don’t rule that out just yet! As it is still very far out i will reserve more detail on this for another update where we will be able to examine fresh data.


Looking towards the weekend, we expect to see the usual seasonal weather Saturday and Sunday, 20%  or less chance of a shower or two and warm temperatures, the breeze will be light for the entire weekend.Monday looks to be great weather wise as well but Tuesday and onwards will depend on if this system develops or not .Only time will tell…


Thats about it for now…Have a great weekend all! Another update will be posted sometime tomorrow.

- Late Thursday August 11th SVG Weather Info Tid-Bit
  • By "Colvin &quot;Koolkidd&quot; Harry" <colvinharry at yahoo.co.uk>
  • Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 04:02:13 +0100 (BST)

Another Glorious day in SVG, puffy clouds warm temps and relatively calm seas with just a slight breeze,a few showers late today around the southern portions of the island but that was short lived,interestingly enough the countryside was dry while the southern portion of the island had  rain,not unusual to us here in SVG but just one of those times that makes you wonder about the weather.


As we look to our east this evening,we can see that the National Hurricane Center has been pulling out their crayons,they put down he yellow ones and now have done there orange sketches on the Atlantic map,what this means?Well it means we have two systems INVEST 92L and INVEST 93L at a 40% chance of becoming a Tropical Cyclone in the next 48 hours.See image below:


INVEST 92L and 93L before sunset today, notice 92L is more north than 93L,hence we should be more worried about 93L than 92L having an impact on our weather...still lets not rule out 92L just yet...



Here are the latest Forecast Tracks for both systems.....

Will Continue to monitor these two systems for you and update you as necessary,but i do believe we will have one depression in the Atlantic by Saturday if this continues and maybe two by Monday...we will see how that pans out.

Regarding our weather,tomorrow should be another seasonal day with the usual 20-30% chance of a few isolated showers with mostly warm temperatures  and with light to moderate breeze blowing accross the islands,as i tend to say here we go another beach day! (Not for me though i have work ) Will keep you posted on any more developments weatherwise.

  • Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 05:43:22 +0100 (BST)

 

Well you might say i have been M.I.A. for the past few days as to what is happening weather-wise, and you are correct i have not posted since Wednesday! but the weekend was a busy one which i thoroughly enjoyed,it was a great weekend for the beach ,never mind the few hit and miss showers we had between Saturday and Sunday, it was very warm and the sea water was inviting,it was an  eventful weekend though with an earthquake which occurred just after midnight smack between St Vincent and St Lucia which was felt on both islands.


Here is what the USGS Report on it :


Magnitude 5.0
Date-Time
Location 13.843°N, 60.309°W
Depth 38 km (23.6 miles)
Region SAINT LUCIA REGION, WINDWARD ISLANDS
Distances 72 km (44 miles) ESE of CASTRIES, St. Lucia
113 km (70 miles) NW of BRIDGETOWN, Barbados
116 km (72 miles) SE of FORT-DE-FRANCE, Martinique
805 km (500 miles) SE of SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Location Uncertainty horizontal +/- 12.7 km (7.9 miles); depth +/- 7.9 km (4.9 miles)
Parameters NST=330, Nph=335, Dmin=112.4 km, Rmss=0.7 sec, Gp= 61°,
M-type=regional moment magnitude (Mw), Version=7
Source
  • Magnitude: USGS NEIC (WDCS-D)
    Location: USGS NEIC (WDCS-D)
Event ID usc0005a0t


Also on a point of note there was a 4.5 magnitude very shallow earthquake off barbados on Monday August 8th at around 10.42AM Local time, see USGS website for more info on this.


Now onto matters of Tropical weather nature…it is rather quiet now,EMILY is long gone, the computer models are a bit tricky with their forecasts but are hinting systems passing through or just north of the islands in the coming weeks,once these runs become consistent and are trust worthy,for now we will play it by ear,we have a tropical wave approaching the northern islands from the east attached to it is a LOW of 1012MB,it is moving quickly into the islands and is being hindered by heavy dust presence in the Atlantic,over the past few hours however it has began to show signs of blowing up convection and expanding,so i wouldn’t rule out the possibility of us feeling the effects of this either later today or tomorrow (Wednesday) though the bulk of the activity should stay to our north.Today we run a seasonal 20% chance of a hit or miss shower or two,late tonight into tomorrow chance of showers may increase to 50% or more with the approaching wave.


Lets see what the satellite imagery says,this was taken at 11:45 Local time…notice that “blob” blowing up just east of Barbados,that’s our wave…will keep you posted!

more rain...3 1/2 inches yesterday...when the dogs woke me around 6, I thought, good, it's gone, and then it got gusty and it started to pour, but that didn't last too long, so I took the opportunity of the gap in the weather to take the dogs out, and we all ended up soaked to the skin...I haven't gone out to check the rain gauge to see what we got so far today...very grey, currently drizzling, and thunder...as far as one can see to the west is overcast...on the infrared satellite photos it looks like a huge system that will be bringing us showers all day, so I guess all the windwards are feeling damp, some more so than others...this looks like it's going to do some real damage before it's over and done with...lets pray that Emily will turn north and fizzle out at sea...

 Hello Stormcarib Friends,

Once again we report more rain,it is falling continuously with over 5 inches (maybe 6 by now) recorded at the local met office thats an unprecedented ammount of rainfall for 24 hours for us here in SVG,i just got this images from a friend travelling into kingstown,there is flooding at arnos vale among other places and some vehicles are attempting to cross the high waters( we wish them all the best) not a very wise idea at all.

I have attached a couple photos so you can see for yourself what its like at arnos vale .Will keep you posted

Hey All
Over heard at home this morning, "where is the sun? please put it back because it is still dark" So it is this morning, with gusts of winds at around 20 -25 Mph, this wave is making it's presence felt, from the sat pics, it's main area of rain activity seems to be south of St Vincent, so Grenada, looks like rain, I can also detect the genesis of circulation to the north of this system, I hope that NOAA is paying attention to this one, as it show promise, as Gert remarked, Arlene may form by the end of the month, ( would hate for her to be this one) it is too close to my doorstep.

So with the umbrella and Jacket, I am off to work. have a safe day folks in Barbados, Grenada,and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Hey Stormcarib friends its been a bleaky day here in SVG weatherwise...was partly cloudy at first then it started to cloud up and late this evening it got dark pretty quickly with quick flashes of lightning and a distant rumble of thunder,winds were gusting close to 30 MPH i would average with some utility poles rocking and trees bending also the rain has been falling almost 2 hours now ..sometimes heavy but at present its drizzling.

satellite photos show some bright colors around our area which spells more  rain for us over the next 12-24 hours..on my travel from kingstown this evening some parts of the road were already flooded (i could imagine if it rains some more what will happen) hoping that it will not cause too much of a problem as i have to get to work for 5AM tomorrow . Stay safe all if any major changes i will update you.

Remember to ALWAYS be prepared! it only takes one storm/hurricane to wreck your comfortable lifestyle.
 

 


Warm Regards,

It’s been thunderstorms and showers off and on all day today…not a huge amount of accumulation so far, just a little more than an inch the last time I checked, but the big blob (wave) headed our way that we seem to be on the leading edge of, could bring us lots more overnight and tomorrow…

In Bequia we had a brief squall go through yesterday afternoon around 3:30…gusty wind and a heavy downpour for as long as it lasted which wasn’t long…only ½ inch of rain…gorgeous day today…

Awoke a short while ago to a fierce 20 Mph wind which whistled through
the trees and rattled the rooftops nearby, being at the crest of a
hill does not help either. The accompanying rain is also intense, hope
it dies soon.

- a gorgeous day in Bequia

Well, it’s that time of year again, and we started off a day early with a tropical wave going through early on May 31st bringing us some wind and a heavy downpour in fairly short time…we found a small tree uprooted and over in the garden that day so the water had to have been running pretty good, and when I took the dogs for their morning preamble all I could hear all around me was water running…about a hour later though it was all dried up and hotter than blazes…a positive to all the rain we’ve had is that the tanks are all full and the pools keep getting topped up without having to use tank water to do so…and since the 31st, no rain, and very hot, though there is a nice breeze if you are located in a place to catch it…I was into Port Elizabeth earlier today and there wasn’t much breeze there, so I was glad to get home to the breeze on our deck…the mossies have been horrible the past few months but in particular the past few weeks…I’ve had more bites in the past few weeks than I think I’ve had in the past 14 years, and my mossie zapper swatter has been getting a good workout…have you ever accidentally touched the wire screen on one of those when it’s in the on position…yowch…I don’t recommend it…I love the sizzle sound and little flash of light when you get a particularly fat mossie…little monsters…even though I have good cross ventilation coming through the office, I’m dripping, so on that note, I must go dip in the pool…safe season everyone…lets all be prepared and pray that the storms all fizzle out at sea…

 


- more rain in Bequia

I was so thrilled that that sun was shining this morning after a couple of days of no sunshine and frequent showers…I took a mattress pad that I’d washed on Sunday out to see if I could finish getting it dry in the sun in the courtyard, and fortunately was able to grab it and get it back inside when the rain reappeared…I haven’t splashed out to the rain gauge to see how much we’ve had, but the pool level has come up what looks like about 4 inches and it’s still coming down…the pasture below us at Spring is flooded and you can see the gutters overflowing and the Spring road is under water…

 

Bequia is incredibly lush and green, and the tree frogs are multiplying…they sound like they are anyway…where we’d lost plants due to the drought last year is all grown in, and you almost can’t tell where we lost trees from Hurricane Tomas, everything is growing so well…

 

Hopefully there won’t be any land slippages with all this rain…
