Good morning

Another surprise coming from the East, nobody couldn't imagine that a weak Tropical wave would develop as it did in only one day!! ... Hope this sudden develop doesn't change for worst, but as our temperature was so high lately (32-33°C); we certainly need some rain.. some rain not a Tropical Depression..!!! ...

Last week was very very hot, with 32°C of temperature each day !!

Today our sky was overcasted and hazy. Some thunders were heard in the distance in the morning and some were so near!!!

It rained for some moments but there was no wind,  I think it will rain again but heavily this time!!

Our sky is overcasted since 16:00 hrs, strong rain and gusty winds were presents by squalls (35 kph) as Tropical Depression Five was formed before passing through us

This night we will have a significant quantity of rainfall and maybe some thunders.
 
I hope Ernesto  will not cause so many damages while passing through the islands in the caribbean sea

Good afternoon

Some thunders in the distance for today and also some gusty wind when rain falls, Temperature 28 °C

It's true it's very impressive this new  Tropical Disturbance 96L, considering it's just leaving Africa, I hope it's pattern will continue northern as all Models had predicted

We will cross our fingers.

Good afternoon

Heavy rainfalls, some thunders that were heard in the distance with the sun trying to stay out a little more, that is what it has been happening since the morning!!!

A New Strong Tropical Wave that seems to be big and well-defined is approaching, but NHC says it's no going to become a Depression but  will bring  a lot of rain and thunderstorms.

We will be watching this.

- Hazy and no wind
  • From: Monica Jean-Vincent <monikjv73 at yahoo.com>
  • Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 05:15:50 -0700 (PDT)
Good morning

It seems to be a beautiful day, no wind, no move at this time, no sound, even birds have stoped to sing, Are they in holidays?

Some bizarre clouds can be seen in the horizon, and a hazy blue and covered sky; sun is trying to fight a place with these strange clouds

It's calm and begin to be hot (28°C) a little more dry and hot than yesterday at the same hour,  but knowing Chris is  at the NE  it's logical  !!

Our friends (Saharan dust and wind shear) begin to be tired to protect us .. Even "Montagne Pelée " doesn't want to be raise early... anymore

Good night

Hazy, hazy, hazy!!!,

We are becoming used to watch everyday this film of dust that comes from Africa... in our skies... At least that avoid bad weather!! ... and make it dry

Temperature for today was  32°C, No rain but a little windy

Good morning!

It is good to have some rain, but yesterday it didn't rain so much only sun has gone to sleep early and today in spite of having the good intention to stay out all day it was covered by big clouds and heavy rainfall began again.

Sky is grey and the day become night but temperature is 25°C and in the Horizon, sun stills fighting with some clouds that don't leave him to shine.... maybe later.

Good morning

We expect tomorrow another tropical wave as you can see below,

But now temperature is 29°C and there were some gusty winds and some little rain by moments specially in the morning.

"Haze" sky is mostly often these days, dust makes its work well, difficult to see our sky's real  color

- Tropical Wave
  • From: Monica Jean Vincent <monik73 at yahoo.com>
  • Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 08:35:33 -0700 (PDT)
Since yesterday's afternoon Rain began in some parts of the island; and late at night, a Tropical wave has arrived with gusty winds of 60-70 kph. They were so strong that windows echoed and trembled when they strucked them like whips. Some thunders were heard but far away.

Now we have  26 C  temperature, it doesn't rain in Fort de France. Wind has calmed down itself  since this morning but it will be stronger according to the forecasts and satellital images. We needed rain and we will have it!

I was wondering if this Tropical wave will become a TD.

- More rain is needed...

Good morning!!

Atlantic Hurricane Season has begun but weather doesn't change so much; except today with an ovescasted sky,  only 28 C.  No rain in this moment but gusty winds of 50 - 60  kph. 

Dry season has given a little dark brown aspect to our island, it didn't rain as much as we expected last month

Here below a nice photo of our Montagne Pelee as we can see it now

- dry season begins to go away slowly
  • From: Monica Jean Vincent <monik73 at yahoo.com>
  • Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 07:38:15 -0700 (PDT)
After a long dry season  with high temperatures (33-34), cleared sky and little rain; we began to have more rain,  some fresh air,  bigger clouds and much covered skies, that gives us a little more coolness sensation notwithstanding temperature is not going down.

Atlantic hurricane 2006's season is coming soon and we must all well prepared,
I am so glad with the new look of the website I liked it as it was and I like it now also, changes are always good!!

I hope this new season will not be as 2005's, unfortunately some people think is might be worst
