- - St.Lucia - -

Well, yesterday (Monday) turned out to be a pretty mice day - the storm broke overnight and we saw a good mix of sun and fluffy clouds and a good offshore breeze to keep things cool. So our day in Castries worked out OK afterall - no flooding, cool enough weather to get things done, and so on. The roads did see some damage and some landslides - one spot in Mon Repos had some boulders come down and it was a single lane for a little ways and will take a little time to get it cleared out, but no damage overall to any of the roads, especially not in the areas so badly damaged from Hurricane Tomas 2 years ago. Good news there!
Today, we woke to more grey skies and showers here in the south - most of the morning was grey with drizzle punctuated by heavier cloudbursts - now at almost noon, it has cleared out a bit and we have some clear blue skies, but I don't expect it to last, looks like more clouds on the horizon. And looking north towards the rainforest - solid dark grey clouds. So - no laundry today, unless we want it doubled rinsed while out on the line!!
Stay safe out there!!

Ok Peeps, looks like the sun is making a come back!! in the North, although it is not totally blue skies, it is NOT raining!! great! Was in Castries at 7.15am this morning and it was not too bad either. dry and sunny. People are going around doing business as usual. drove along the beach at Choc bay. water a bit murky but the brave can still have a swim there. Just came back home, was able to get in my garden, picked some cherries, paw paws and onions. needed my willies as the earth/soil is quite soggy. Warm breeze coming in. off to do the laundry before the sun disappears. have a great day whatever you do. and don't let the weather dictate how you spend the vacation here. just carpe diem!

Well, it's been a grey, grey day here in the south of the island. The last two days (Friday & Sat) were rainy - although Friday wan't all day here in the south, just a couple of periods of downpours. Sat & Sat night - pretty much all day rain, at times extremely heavy. By today, Sunday, the rain has tapered way off here in the south, just a few drizzles, but grey and definitely cool (for us!).
Looks like the clouds and rain may be moving out by tomorrow - that would be great! We have to be up in the city tomorrow and it's never fun in Castries in the rain! I'm sure our visitors would welcome the sun too!
The rainy season is coming - this has been a short preview - stock up, check tanks, evacuation plans, etc  and stay safe out there!

hi everyone, unfortunately the rains are still in Saint Lucia. It has been raining all day. No high winds though but it is surely wet, wet, wet. Everything looks so green now compared to a couple of weeks ago, when everything looked soooo brown.
There are still fun things to do despite the rain here in beautiful Saint Lucia. Restaurants are still packed with visitors especially at Rodney Bay Marina.
Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow.

Good day,
 
It has been raining in Saint Lucia heavily since Friday (19th Apr)morning. It started in the North (where I live) from about 3.38am. We have had several breaks in the rain, enough time to go outside and check hoe the garden-vegetables patches- are doing. The early hours of Saturday(20th) the rains  mingled with a strong winds (am not too far from the sea) came. the ground is situated and the water on the ground is flowing heavily in the man main storm drains. It eased up a bit during the day enough for me to go grocery shopping and to see friends. it drizzled from about 2pm but by 4pm the rains stated heavily.
 
It is now 3am Sunday morning and it has been raining non stop. the wind is strong but not strong enough to throw down trees.
 
I am monitoring the situation. This is very unusual weather.
