Greetings,

Usually I only post storm weather related information but this has some merit............

Nevis has had very little rain since beginning of the year. All is brown and more brown.

Looks like we might get some rain then nothing happens. Clouds around and everyone is looking up for that down pour.

I'm betting when it does come we will get buckets and buckets of water.

Harry

Good Evening in Europe

The weather on Nevis and in particular Cades Bay Area has been mixed we have had some hot days and some cooler, not much rain during the day but some hearty showers or even downpours at night.

Today is a cool day, showery and slightly overcast, not to worry we do know the sun will return.

Double Deuce has reopened at its new location on the road to Sunshines and Pinneys beach.

Best Wishes

Good afternoon everyone,

Today's weather has been very pleasant. A slight breeze from the east with a 
few clouds passing by. Plenty of sunshine which is in contrast to last week. 
Temperature at 28C and a clear view (no haze) so that I can see our neighbour 
Montserrat today.

The main focus is on the developing Tropical Depression south of Jamaica.

A brighter day today. The morning started mainly cloudy but as the day 
progressed hazy sunshine started to break through. Due the amount of water that 
is around it feels very humid. Spent the day clearing up broken branches and

Good evening ,

The weather in Nevis has remained mainly overcast with some spots of rain. This afternoon there were some breaks in the cloud and the main shower and rainclouds appear to have passed us by to the southwest and west of the island. This evening there has been some rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning to the west of the island as shower activity is increases with nightfall.

Good morning,

Things are a little brighter here on Nevis, it is looking better towards Montserrat to the south. This morning has consisted of showers with rumbles of thunder and rain clouds coming in from the South West. I gather schools on island are closed today due to the weather. Most of the damage in the Federation from TS Raphael appears to have occurred on St Kitts and thankfully there have been no reports of loss of life.

Today has continued with long spells of rain or drizzle but only a slight breeze this afternoon. Temperature is still around 26C and the wind direction is mainly from the SSW.

The visibility where I am has improved as the cloud base has lifted and I can now see Saddle Hill. The sky is still heavy with cloud and l had to turn my house lights on at 3:30 pm as it was so dark due to the overcast conditions.

Nevis West side Cades bay area

Awoke this morning at 7am to a cool almost still morning but alas no power took the dog for a walk in the squelchie ground. The power was returned at 0815 after 5hrs and then the heavens opened and the wind got up again and since then we have had strong winds with gusts and more rain, the Caribbean sea when we can see it through the gloom has white horses.

Good evening,

Well things haven’t let up here on Nevis. We are still being buffeted by high gusting winds and rain.... lots of rain. I did think that things were improving just after 4pm but it was a false hope. Thunder and lightning returned at about 5:15 pm and the intensity of the rain has increased again.

Nevlec electric supply has had a couple of 30 to 40 minute power interruptions in my area during the afternoon, but things seem to be holding up well.

It has also been pretty cool at around 26C and the rain is cold! I’m having to wear a vest, long sleeved polo shirt and jeans to keep warm!! English weather - so I’ll go and have ‘bangers and mash’ for my evening meal.

Here on the West of the island we are about 300 ft up and 1 Km from the sea which has been absent most of the day from our view.

Rain has been persistent and the wind very gusty the temp was as low as 24 at one stage it did clear about 4pm but now we are back in the murk.

For those of you who are English I would describe today as very Welsh, wet windy and wild.

Good afternoon,

Here in Nevis I am living in the twilight zone – very murky!

Just had the first rolls of thunder for awhile and the wind seems to have picked up and become stronger over the last hour. Rain has continued to fall with some intense downpours with very squally winds.

As this system seems to be slow moving as it passes the Leeward Islands we will see more of this for awhile yet.

Last night was calm with an occasional shower. This morning we started with 
light rain/drizzle, but this has gradually intensified. We are now being given 
a good soaking. The wind today is coming from the south/south-east and is 
fairly light with some stronger gusts. I am pretty well 'greyed out' now by low 
cloud/rain so visibility is very poor but I have added short video from about

From: "Weather Update" <nevis.storm at hotmail.com>
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:18:01 -0400

Good morning,

Invest 98L is moving on up the island chain giving us some unsettled weather. The prediction from the NHC is that the chance of this system forming a tropical cyclone is now 80% within the next 48 hours as it travels at a gentle speed of 10-15 MPH towards Puerto Rico. This still means strong winds and rain showers/thunderstorms for a couple of days for us. A US Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon – so more news later.

As for Nevis, today started with showers first thing this morning, then sunny spells and has continued mainly cloudy with a shower followed by some drizzle starting at around 11am.

The wind has picked up in strength today and there have been some strong gusts blowing, especially when there is a rain shower.

The Nevis Disaster Management Department have organised a display and a march in Charlestown today for the ‘2012 International Day for Disaster Reduction’ (Officially dated for 13th October). The theme this year is ‘Women and Girls: the (in)Visible Force of Resilience’

Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:20:46 -0400

Good Afternoon,

It would seem that Invest 98L will be moving up the Lesser Antilles island chain over the coming days. NHC forecasts that:

‘STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LESSER ANTILLES DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.’

The prediction that a cyclone will form from this system in the next 48 hours has also increased to a 50% chance.

We have been having a steady pattern of heavy showers – including thunder and lightning – for the past three days now. This has also included gusty winds and some sunny spells.

We wait and see what more this latest system can bring us.

I have included a photo of sunrise from yesterday morning at 6am, taken just after one of those heavy showers had passed.

- Nevis. Dodging the Showers

From: Frank Goodwill <nevis.storm at hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 17:42:13 -0400

Good afternoon,

An interesting couple of days weather wise. Yesterday there was a threat of 
showers for most of the day with some heavy cloud passing over and odd rumbles 
of thunder. At around 3pm yesterday one of those dark clouds came over and 
there was a flash of lightening and a loud clap of thunder then the sky opened 
with a heavy tropical downpour. The lightening was directly above the house and 
I heard the air crackle so it was pretty close. One result was the electricity 
supply breakers popped out on the Nevlec network. So I lost electricity for a 
while. Overnight there were some more showers but not as dramatic.

Today the breeze has picked up from the East and the clouds have again 
threatened showers with some thunder rumbling. It looks as if the main showers 
have missed us and passed the island by to the south. Nevis Peak blocks my view 
to the north though.

A short video of the clouds passing by.

Good night everyone,

Today has been sunny with some cloud though the clouds have been kept moving by a strong easterly breeze. So the weather has been a bit of a mixed bag this week though very pleasant.

For all you Nevis watches there was some promotion that Nevis would become a ‘green’ island with the introduction of Geothermal electricity generation. Well that seems to have stalled after many promises from the developer, West Indies Power and the Nevis Island Administration. Now it seems that the Nevis island Administration has moved on to plan ‘B’ – A fuel storage facility for oil/diesel/petrol/kerosene, etc. Construction will consist of two phases with the first phase taking about two years to complete. The facility will encompass 101 acres of land in the Pembroke Estates (near Long Point and Bath Village).

Today has been bright and sunny and pretty humid, with even some of the locals complaining how hot it felt. At around mid-day today there were some rumbles of thunder and a flash or two of lightening, but the heavy storm clouds seemed to have missed us and passing by to the north of the island.

I was back down on the Windward coast this afternoon having a look around. A short video doing a 360 degree view.

From: "Weather Update" <nevis.storm at hotmail.com>

Good afternoon everyone,

A very pleasant day on Nevis – Hot and sunny, with only a slight breeze. We did have some showers overnight but the clouds are few and far between today – except around Nevis Peak.

Today was Beach Clean-up Day on Nevis from 08:00 to 10:00 hours. Volunteers headed off down to various beaches of the island to pick-up rubbish and to record what was found.

My two hour stint was down at Coconut Walk Estate (New River) on the Windward side of the island. You don’t realise how much trash the human race produces! The greatest single item collected was plastic bottles and parts of plastic bottles, though I did find the remains of a couple of car batteries. It is good that we haven’t had many storms this year as there would probably have been a lot more rubbish.

I’ve added a couple of photos of the wild Windward beach area, its quite a contrast to the Leeward side i.e. Pinney’s Beach, Cades Bay, etc. Good walking country if you like to explore and look at old sugar plantation ruins and rugged coast line.

Good morning

The last couple of days have been very warm on Nevis that is the Cades Bay area on the western side of the island, we have had the odd shower but most rain during the night which has greened things up a little.

For those that know the island yesterday I drove through Cades bay from the Yachtsman Grill into Cotton Ground the road and surrounds were wet, by the new Cotton Ground police Station the ground was dry then until you turned off for Sunshines there it was wet again, so when someone says they had rain and you didn't and you're about 1/2 mile away don't worry, your time will come.

Good night everyone,

Today has been overcast and humid with a breeze and it has been hazy with the temperature at about 31C. I noticed some ‘whitecaps’ and large waves down on the St. James Windward (Atlantic) side of the island, so the sea on that side was rough.

Weather reports give the wind direction tonight as ENE, but sitting out on the veranda at 8 pm it was coming from the ESE. This was confirmed by the occasional whiff of ‘Parfum de Montserrat’ – sulphurous smell of rotten eggs from the Soufriere Volcano. The blanket of cloud has broken up and the moon is making brief appearances. Tomorrow should be partly cloudy and Tuesday we are due some Thunderstorms with a good possibility of showers on Wednesday and Thursday. We wait and see how good these forecasts are.

Have a good night.

Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday afternoon we saw a build up of cloud and from 5pm rumbles of thunder and some lightening. By 6pm the heavens had opened and we had a good downpour. Not so good for the people down at the St. James’ Racetrack watching the Hero’s Day drag-racing event! Not my thing but it was interesting watching the ‘Le Mans’ start as everybody rushed to leave as it started to rain while I was driving past the track.

Today is a Public Holiday in St. Kitts-Nevis and it is overcast and we had a couple of showers earlier this morning. It is quiet humid with the occasional half-hearted attempt to generate a breeze.

As the weather has been much the same sunny, hot and dry I haven’t posted anything. Today has been much the same except we just had a rain shower which is a novelty as it has been pretty dry for a while.

Things have been pretty busy lately in the Atlantic to the east of the Leeward Islands, but the storms have been turning north before reaching us. The latest, TD #14, is predicted to do the same. A good thing for us but bad in another way as we need a bit more rain.

Good evening everyone,

Today has felt really hot due to the humidity. Sunny with broken cloud and a top temperature of 31C. Even at 10 pm the temperature is 28C but feels like 32C and we just had a short sharp shower at about 9:30 pm. I took a short video down at Maddens near the Windfarm in St. James which is on the Atlantic (East side) of the island.

http://youtu.be/oy-21OrYPXY

Looking to the East Tropical Storm Leslie is still predicted to bypass the Leeward Islands but the closest point to Nevis has reduced from 364 miles to 340 miles in one day. It will probably be a near miss but it will be interesting to see the intensity of the showers/rain bands that pass over.

Have a good weekend,

It has ended up as a beautiful day weather wise on Nevis. There was a build up of cloud around midday but that has gone. Temperature has been around 31C with a slight breeze blowing.

Our near neighbour Montserrat had a small ash venting episode yesterday afternoon, just to remind everyone the Soufriere Hills Volcano is still active after some 16 years now. Not Hurricane news but it is still part of the mix.

pretty quiet.

Sunny, dry with broken cloud. The temperature during the day has been 31C with 
a light breeze. It is still a little hazy when looking at the sea/sky horizon.

Good afternoon everyone,

Sunday was much the same as Saturday weather wise. Cloudy, hazy, and very 
little breeze. Today's weather had been better with some sunshine but there is 
still quiet a lot of cloud cover. There was one short, sharp shower just after 
mid-day. I recorded a quick video down at the Charlestown waterfront.

Good evening everyone,

Today has been overcast, hazy, dull with a few spots of rain. There has been 
very little breeze to speak of. Even the local dogs have been quiet.

I've added a short video looking towards the south of the island, Saddle Hill 
and panning to the SW. Time was 5pm and shows how overcast it is.

Good night everyone,

Today day has produced calmer weather for Nevis. Last night at about 00:30 hours we had one of those final rain-bands pass over which provided some more rain. Today has been cloudy with hazy sunshine. It would appear that TS Isaac will be pulling in showers behind it but so far today it has been dry. Wind is from the ESE and the temperature has picked up again from yesterday’s low. Looking at the Caribbean Sea side the inshore waters are discoloured from rain water run-off and on the Atlantic side the waves are much rougher.

TS Joyce has fizzled out so now we look to the next system Invest 97L which is projected at this early stage to go safely north of us (Nevis). But then the Hurricane Roulette wheel is spinning again.......

Good afternoon,

In the southern foothills of Nevis Peak we had much the same weather this morning as we had during Wednesday – cool with a blustery breeze. The showers eased and we had no rain from early morning and it has just started to rain with very low cloud obscuring Saddle Hill.

Nevlec were out finishing off the repair work from last nights power outage. We lost power from 09:30 hours to noon time today as a result.

The only ‘wreckage’ has been a few small branches blown down from trees in my yard. There is an old coconut grove on land next to me that has succumbed to ‘yellow’ disease and a couple of the remaining ‘telegraph poles’ came down. They caused no damage but it was strange hearing the creaking noise as they went down.

TS Joyce is going to miss us so that is a blessing.

Today has been dry on my part of Nevis and we continue to have hazy sunshine with some cloud. There was a strong breeze this morning but that has eased off this evening.

Now that TD9 has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Isaac, we wait to see what that brings Wednesday afternoon.

A tropical storm warning is in place for Nevis and this has been announced on radio and Nevis TV (ch8). Facebook alerts have been posted by the Nevis Disaster Management team.

Today has again been hot with hazy sunshine and some cloud with the temperature at 31C. We still have a nice breeze and during the evening there were a few short sharp showers. An increase in shower activity is expected tomorrow (Tuesday).

The NHC has issued an advisory that the Leeward Islands should monitor the area of low pressure, Invest 94L, that is 800 miles to the east and heading towards us. Its a case of will it develop into a Tropical Depression/Tropical Storm by the time it reaches the Leeward Islands*. So we continue to watch and wait.

Good Evening everyone,

Today has been fine and mostly clear of cloud. It has been hot with hazy sunshine (31C feels like 37C) with a good breeze this morning that lightened up in the afternoon.

Well its time to look at what is developing and may arrive later in the week with Invest 94L. No point in worrying or getting in a panic, but the Hurricane Roulette wheel of chance is spinning. A chance just to check batteries and supplies.

No doubt the NHC will keep us briefed as well as the many other sites including this one. For those booked in for a holiday this week to the Caribbean/Florida etc., keep an eye on developments. I remember arriving in Nevis on 19th September 1998 and a few days later was experiencing Hurricane Georges 21st/22nd September (a night to remember), producing strong winds of up to 115 mph (185 km/h) while passing over and lots and lots of rain.

Today has been mainly cloudy in Nevis. We had a couple of short, sharp showers this morning but all is quiet now. Temperature was 31C but due to the humidity it felt more like the mid 30s.

All seems quiet regarding the weather in this part of the Leeward Islands but no doubt a rabbit will be pulled out of the weather hat as we approach the peak period of the hurricane season (10th September). With all the technology involved the weather can still be full of surprises, good and bad. We just have to keep a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Good afternoon everyone,

Today has become a little more unsettled. There has been the usual ‘partly cloudy with hazy sunshine’ that seems to have been the norm for a while. There is some unsettled weather moving over us so that has increased the chances of rain. Had our first rain shower just before 1pm as some very dark clouds came around Nevis Peak and it has also been quiet breezy this morning. Seems as if it is going to be much of the same for the next couple of days.

Locally the Nevis Culturama Festival started officially yesterday and goes on until 7th August.

The haze has been back with us for a couple of days now but there has been very little cloud today as Nevis Peak has not been wearing its usual ‘hat’.

The vegetation is starting to look dry now and the ground is like concrete so that puts paid to any gardening. A good excuse to sit back and drink my freshly made lemonade with ice.

Good Afternoon everyone,

The official start of the hurricane season is upon us even though there have been two named storms so far in the Atlantic.

Well today has been hot and hazy (again). I found it very hot in Charlestown this morning and I must say having to stop by various businesses that have air conditioning did give a bit of relief, even though the old body does get a bit confused with the temperature change. This afternoon I’ve been back up in the mountain home putting up some new lights so it has been a busy day.

Just thought of the old Nat King Cole number:

‘Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer........’

Must be showing my age! Time for a beer!

Have a good and safe weekend.

Added a couple of photos.

The clear weather where we could see a well defined horizon has gone we are back in the hazy views  from Cades Bay Nevis,  Brimstone Hill on St Kitts is barely discernible and Sint Eustatius which was clearly visible yesterday has gone.

By the way its 3pm its 34.7 C on the veranda in the shade with very little breeze.

Best Wishes 
 
Keith

Today is hot and sunny. The wind picked up yesterday afternoon and seems to have cleared most of the cloud and haze away that we have been experiencing. A picture paints a thousand words so please find attached two photos.

Have a good day and weekend,

Frank Goodwill

- Showers then Hazy Sunshine

Good-night Everyone,

Today has been far more settled. We had a few showers this morning and the afternoon was sunny. I say the afternoon was sunny but it was very hazy and I couldn’t see Montserrat through the murk or the sea/sky horizon. Wind is an East-SE and the temperature has picked up a little to 30C (86F) during the day and it feels pretty humid.

Regards,

Frank Goodwill

Good Day Everyone,

Last night there was a cool breeze from the East. Up in Rawlins Village this added a bit of a chill to the night. This morning started overcast with the sun struggling to show its face through the cloud and since midday we began to get short sharp rain showers.

Regards,

Frank Goodwill

- Cloud, sunshine and some showers

Good afternoon,

Today has been a mixed bag regarding the weather. Most of the time it has been cloudy with occasional breaks with some sunshine and as the cloud thickens, showers.

Last night in the early hours there was a heavy downpour that knocked out the electricity (off at 01:56 hours) as well as cable TV and the internet.

So still not the weather for sun seekers. I’ve added a couple of photos taken today of Saddle Hill reflecting the changeable weather conditions. Saddle Hill is the southern most range on Nevis and is 375m high.

Regards,

Frank Goodwill

Good morning to all our readers.

We are getting some sunshine through the broken cloud this morning so the weather has brightened up.

See the following link concerning an earthquake warning for the area issued by the Seismic Research Unit in Trinidad and Tobago.
