The NOAA weather station 41040 got loose and some guys found it drifting 18 miles south of Antigua and towed it in here. Their website says it was anchored 450 miles northeast of Martinique

BEEN RAINING off and on in Antigua this week (BADLY NEEDED) but thank goodness not yesterday as there was a special wedding here with 100 guests coming in from east coast so the beautiful bride could enter the church without an umbrella! GOOD THINK IT WAS NOT TODAY AS THE SKY IS OPENED UP TODAY!! and as we get ready for this hurricane season starting JUNE 1 concerning to read DAVES COMMENTS on the stormcARiB site about the US satellite! LETS HOPE IT GETS SORTED SOON! being ready is the key!

For those who follow wonderful STORM CARIB we "locals" are here for you to keep you abreast of the weather on island!! thanks for caring about what is going on with our special little "rock".

JUST READ this below from GERT on his wonderful STORM CARIB SITE and not pleased with that.... have not heard other reports but guess we just have to be ready for JUNE 1 ( start of hurricane season) to roll round as we know we are in "hurricane alley"

Today the Tropical Storm Risk group at University College London, UK, came out with a forecast for the upcoming season (yes, only 2 months away...). They predict an above average season. Atlantic basin tropical cyclone activity in 2013 is forecast to be about 30% above the long-term (1950-2012) norm but slightly below the recent 2003-2012 10-year norm. They forecast 15 tropical storms, including 8 hurricanes and three major hurricanes (11, 6 and 3 is 'normal')
