Good evening,
 
Some heavy yet intermittent showers tonight. Lots of thunder, just like last night.  The frogs are making all kinds of sounds.
Must be that "Invest 93L" system to the south of us.

All calm in Prospect too. No wind, no rain. However distant thunder & lightening still present. Judging by the sat maps, my opinion is this "blob" has potential for development. We just got the outerbands of the small but agressive looking "blob". Hopefully the upper winds will restrict development further or at least send this storm on it's way quick time!.

Massive thunder & rain in Savannah in Grand Cayman.   Has stopped now, but can still hear thunder and seems to be getting closer.  No power lost, but flickered a bit.

I'm in West Bay and no rain here yet. Looks promising though.

The big blob approaching Cayman is giving us a taste of things to come this evening. Hopefully power will remain on but we are getting our generator ready just in case.

It's pouring down HARD! I'm in Prospect but my guess is that this will be island wide soon, if not already.

Hi everyone,
 
Today we had a "monsoon" so to speak.  Its been raining like mad for a few hours now. We also lost power for about 2h.  I think most locals will be happy ; the grass & plants will grow and those with cisterns will get those filled up to the brim.
 
Generally weather has been quite nice recently. The water is a fantastic +-82 degrees.  Went scuba diving on the North Wall yesterday.  I highly recommend diving if you are looking for a great activity. There were people of all ages on the boat that took us out, so no excuses! :-)
 
Check out some of pictures I took while down there; we say eagle rays, barracuda, a moral eel & turtles. Amazing!
 
 
Cheers
