All,
Just a quick not to say that we had about 30 mins of continuous rain in the capital Kingstown, this is the carnival weekend, and as they say, no rain can stop carnival, maybe a combination of rain, and swine flu may stop it, yep, we have a confirmed case, I hope to be away from all this madness this weekend, and focus on the important things....
hope the skies clear up later today, as I do not see anything looming on the sat pics.... wishing everyone a safe weekend.

June
in Mustique ended up a much wetter month than the June of the last few years with
a total of 128 mm (5.04 inches) rainfall for the month. The island is looking
extremely green and lush and welcoming for the onrush of tourists for the busy
month of July here.

Hey storm carib readers,
What a life eh? When the wind and the rain is so intense and you can't
sleep, the best thing to do is to write about it! Echoing Colvin's
comments, tonight is a magnificent show of lightning' rain and wind, I
took the precaution of unplugging my ADSL modem and resorted to
posting from my BB. Looking outside I can see the outline of the
mango and breadfruit trees swaying crazily in the wind. Although it is
around 12:30 here, there is enough residual moonlight to make out what
is happening around the house. There are gusts of around 20 Mph, and
judging from the satellite photos we have a few more hours of this
reminder that the "season" has started, it is a stark reminder to me
that there are a few things I need to have completed in order to be
fully ready for any system.

Hey All its Midnight here in SVG as we say hello to july and what a bang for the month for us here ...A few hours ago i watched an area of convection explode some miles of SVG's coast and i monitored it as it rolled it, its amazing what iam seeing looking out my window now, the rain is coming down in sheets and the wind very gusty and changing from E to ESE rapidly then to ENE as i watch the trees sway, i wish i had a wind guage at my location, there must have been a gust somewhere over 30 MPH as i saw the wires on the poles shaking and the banana trees bending over.The lightning has been intense over te past 30 minutes and the rain heavy and continuous, looks like we will have more of this for a little while as this Convective burst passes over.
I will update if anything further.All the best Stormcarib Readers!

The
“wet season” finally arrived here in Mustique with 47 mm of rain
yesterday. Enough to fill up a lot of empty tanks and green up the landscape.

Greetings to all stormcarib correspondents and readers...Well its June 1st the official start of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season, this year promises to be a bit quieter never the less it only takes one system to cause havoc in our small island states so we must all be prepared for whatever comes our way.
I woke up this morning to overcast conditions and distant roars of thunder,its gotten worst in the last hour with heavy downpours and closer rumbles of thunder,from the looks of the satellite imagery we will be in for some more of this weather for much of the day, this is due to a westerly moving tropical wave passing thru the windwards.
The forecast from the met office calls for party cloudy skies with showers, but i would more go for overcast skies due to the overnight convection that flared up east of the islands.I encourage all to keep visiting stormcarib.com for any important updates that myself or other correspondents may have.
I Have attached two photos i took a few minutes ago with my laptop webcam, they are not the best quality but you can see the rains sweeping accross the greenary.
Until Next update..stay safe and always be prepared!
