Well the sun came out long enough to dry not one, but four loads of laundry. Hallelujah! After a month of having every load get at least one if not three good soaking's before I can get it off the line...I am so pleased.
No dogs to complain about - but despite the name, my organic watermelons may not drown after all :o)
Weather is quiet which is nice - so far the season is lagging way behind 2005 - let's hope it stays that way.
Have a good time in the UK Jacquie! |

Well, we did have more sunshine today so managed a bit of washing and
hoping to do loads more tomorrow (should I have said that!!). After
getting soaked on Thursday and then again on Friday it was nice to actually not
get wet today. Now I know the garden loves the water but my house is
definitely better without all the flipping mud that 5 dogs bring with
them.
I shall soon be monitoring this site from the cold and rain in the UK
hoping they might experience their summer whilst I’m there.
Stay safe all.......

I need to get some laundry done!!
Someone once asked me what the weather was like in Grenada and I replied that it was typical tropics - lots of sunshine interrupted by the occasional deluge of rain unless there was a big storm system passing by. I said that Grenada was lucky because it very rarely had that quirky temperate rain forest like weather that can bring cloudy days one after the other (such as Vancouver or England's pre-climate change weather).
Well wasn't I wrong about that! Humph.
Nice to see you again Chris :o) |

- Worst day this year!

Hi everyone,
Not sure when you will receive this as my internet is down again!
Yesterday was the worst day this year for solar generation (very little
Sunshine) and guess what, today beat yesterday easily! So now today
holds the record for the cloudiest day of 2013.
Dare I say that tomorrow looks a little better, with the tropical wave
moving further away to the West? There are no tropical waves approaching
as yet. The Inter tropical Convergence Zone is still down around 6N.
Hopefully we could get some sunshine from tomorrow? The last time I was
able to look at the weather radar there were a few small showers to our
East, but well scattered.
Hope you all have a nicer day tomorrow (Saturday).

Good morning,
The weather radar is showing a large area of showers just off to our
East and approaching. This is associated with a tropical wave that is
passing through the area. I am expecting a fair amount of rain today.

Good morning,
Yesterday was the best day we have had for some time. Today has started
out well. Plenty of sunshine, slightly hazy. There are a few showers
between us and Barbados and plenty East of Barbados.
There is a tropical wave approaching from the SE, it has just started to
affect The North-East coast of Guyana and the extreme East of Venezuela
. It will probably affect us in the next few days. It looks as if it
will affect Trinidad and Venezuela more than us. My guess is there will
be some heavy rain and storms in that area. Although we will probably
get an increase in rain showers over the next couple of days, I feel we
will be affected more by the high cloud that spreads out from the storms
over Venezuela. Expect a slight increase in wind.

Hi all,
Just to let you know I am here and watching the weather. Also stocking
up on supplies.
There is a tropical wave at near 42W, some blobs coming off Africa. I
get some information from Dr Jeff Masters Wunderblog. But most of his
posts have been to do with the tornadoes in the US.
As for the recent weather, I have had solar power for about a year and a
half now and have a history of how much Sun there has been on a daily
basis. I can tell you that this year is no worse than the same time last
year. Our problem at this time of year seems to be high overcast cloud
that streams off of South America. Even when the sun has been out it has
been hazy. I haven't seen a clear horizon for more than two weeks.
For the record, Ernesto was the first storm last year to come through
the islands, and that started 01st August.
Let's pray for a quiet season. Keep safe.

Hi Everyone - we're back for another season. I haven't seen the faithful posters for awhile; so I hope you're around? I don't want to spend the summer without my meteorological friends.....
I noted there's a 1008 low emerging from the Coast of Africa to usher in June 1st. No doubt we'll be watching the upper level winds. Lots of rain this week! I had told some visitors that our rainy season is usually sunny with scattered deluges - and their entire holiday turned out to be overcast. Gotta love weather making a liar of me. Humph.
Well I certainly hope that we and all our neighbours have a safe and uneventful hurricane season.
