Greetings, After another bout of windy, sea churning few days things have settles down. Sea Bridge Ferry can now do the crossing to SKB without having it's deck washed clean by rough seas. Looks to be a few pleasant days ahead. Temps still quite comfortable. Current conditions attached. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" Attachment:

Greetings, Strange weather happening about the Caribbean. Seems most islands are reporting the same sea conditions. Some impressive photo's submitted of crashing on shore waves. March started as a dry month and it looked like it would continue for a bit but ended as quickly as it started ending up as a 'normal' month in the rainfall dept. Attached year to date weather summary for those interested. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" Attachment:

Waves slamming into the cliffs below at almost the same intensity as two
weeks ago. Quite curious to have two rare events so close to each
other. Supposed to pick up some more tomorrow!

| - high seas coming back |
|
Carbibwx and windguru are both predicting return of the high seas,
accompanied by high winds, starting around midnight on Tue. Seas in the
Leewards are predicted at about 4.5m, two weeks ago they had predicted
5.5m. So this shouldn't be quite so bad, but the smart boaters on Nevis
are planning to run and hide tomorrow.....
Keep an eye on your forecasts! Regards, Chris |

Since my sailing buddy Harry doesn't post often, I thought I would pick
up some slack.
Seas are up in what folks are calling a once-in-a-lifetime event outside of hurricane season. A friend who has been here for 20 years surfed for the first time ever at Oualie Beach. The dock there has lost all of its decking. In Tamarind Bay, one fishing boat sank, a lobster boat was torn from its mooring and this morning was bouncing amongst the rocks on shore. The car ferry left early Wed morning and has been hiding in Majors Bay over on St Kitts since. Several beach bars are closed, and we fear we may lose more than one of them. We live 35 feet from and 35 feet above the sea, and we're getting wet on the deck from the waves crashing into the cliff below. Quite a time. I understand it is tougher elsewhere, and caribwx.com and windguru.com predict we're in for more of the same through Sat nite. The easter swim from Nevis to St Kitts is scheduled for Sun morning at 9am - we hope it all clears out by then, and we can survive until then with little more damage! Regards, Chris |

Hello All, Things have become very dry with a strong sun & little cloud cover. Temperatures are still comfortable & humidity isn't bad. Since 5-Mar I've recorded less then 1/4" of rain with no rain fall in last 7 days. Looks like this dry pattern will continue into the unforeseeable future.

Greetings, The cool weather continues, although the winds were out of the SW past two days and the days did indeed seem warmer. That changed yesterday when they shifted around to the NE again and brought back the cool temp. Photo attached to show everyone just how drastic a change it's been. Can hardly believe the difference. One good thing warm weather is coming!!! PS: Any guess where photo was taken? Hint NO where in USA Will reveal where at next posting.

Greetings, Just about time to say good bye to "Old Year" & bring in the "New Year" Weather has been flawless with nice breezes, bright sunny skies. Was outside last evening looking at the stars.

Hello Everyone, Had quite a stormy night last evening with over 1" of rain from the storm, throw is some lightening, add some thunder & of course Nevis Electric turns off the grid. Do all islands do that? December rain fall is at 3.50". If that continues Nevis will top 60" annual rain. Starting to compile annual rain fall over the past several years to see how 2007 compares.

| - Nevis Normal |

Hello All, Seems like Nevis is back on track with "normal" weather. Normal being tropical showers every so often. Party cloudy skies. Temps normal for this time of year. Humidity reads 81% but doesn't seem so, maybe because I'm inside writing this and not outside doing some chore where I would feel it? Ocean swells hitting the lee side of Nevis for several days now creating murky waters along the beaches. Other then that all is well at this latitude. Current weather station data attached.

Hello, Sorry about the length between reports. Not really much to talk about. Exception might be the lack of any meaningful rain on Nevis in the past three weeks. Weather is delightful with the cool Christmas winds starting to blow & low humidity.Nights are comfortable with temps. in the mid to upper 70's.

Greetings, For those expecting nice sunny beach weather I think you'll be disappointed. There are high top clouds all over the Caribbean chain of islands. More like book reading time then beach time. It just doesn't look like clearing will take place any time soon. Not a wash out but not bright blue skies either. Cheers, Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" |

Greetings, After a very wet start yesterday the rain stopped & some blue appeared. Blue being blue sky with some sun. Weather Station reports 1.77" from yesterdays rains.

Greetings, After those big rains of two weeks ago not much has fallen since then. Gardens are starting to look a bit parched. Looking at satellite images you would think "tomorrow will bring lots of rain" but next day the images from space have totally changed. A cat & mouse game. Weather has changed to that fall feeling with dry winds and very comfortable temperatures. After the hot days of Jul-Aug-Sep this is a welcome time of year. Weather station data attached.

Greetings, Glad yesterday of over & done. Weather Station collected 2.85 inches of rain in a 6 hr time frame. Out of those 6 hours most fell at two different times of 1/2 hr each time. From reports around other parts if Nevis it sounds like 5-7 inches fell at some locations. Lots of rutted side roads. Those gully's are now ghauts. Looks like today will be a clean up/repair day for the roads crews. Outside it appears to be a possibly sunny day???? Things don't look encouraging with another wave 750mi to the East with lots of high cold tops. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" |

Greetings, Lots of boomers & clashes this early am. Woke me out of a sound sleep (very hard to do). Dog was huddled under chair (very brave she is). Cats where all eyes & ears.

|
Greetings, Gusty winds blowing BUT no rain to date from Dean. Highest wind gust recorded on MY weather station is 58.3 MPH at 12:40am Barometric Pressure at 29.85 Looks like Dean passed over the south end of Martinique which puts the center approx 210 mi from Nevis. Cisterns may not be overflowing from Dean. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" |
| - Thursday 8pm Status |
|
|
Greetings, It looks as though Dean will pass between Dominica & Martinique with winds somewhere around 100 MPH. That puts the center of Dean about 172 mi from Nevis. Based on NOAA data we probably won't see strong winds. My best guess would be 40-50 MPH. Will know by day light just what Nevis is feeling for winds gusts. Barometric Pressure is at 29.95 and seems to be holding at that number. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" |
| - Nevis at 3pm Thursday 16-Aug |
|
|
Hello Everyone, Ok here is my assessment of things based on NOAA projections as of 2pm today. Right now: sunny with breezes 10-15 MPH Based on track of Dean Southern end of Dominica is 154 Mi away from Nevis Based on track of Dean Northern end of Guadeloupe is 80 Mi away from Nevis Hurricane force winds extent outward from center 25-30 mi (where ok so far) Storm force winds extend outward from center 70-90 mi (that means Nevis will receive sustained winds below 75 MPH) but gusts could reach 75 mph, or above, as storm strengthens. A rather fast moving system, so as soon as it starts it ends, well thats what we all hope for. Gotta secure the gardens...... Later, Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" |

Hello All, Today just can't get any better. Almost like a summer day in northern Vermont. Lo humidity, Temp at 85 def F. All eyes are looking East at Dean. Attached the 5 Day track prediction from NOAA. Looks like it will track south of Nevis. How much??? Can't tell, wouldn't guess. Thursday pm or Friday am will have a good bead on exactly where.Winds right now at 40mph. Harry Greetings from Nevis, West Indies "Queen of the Caribbean" Attachment:

Hello All, Weather has settled down, after several days of nice breezes. Satellite images don't show much of anything happening around the Leeward Islands.

Greetings, Great weather the last 2-3 days. Not to hot, nice breezes, blue skies all around. Looking at satellite images there is a depression south of the Leewards & it appears to be moving in a north westerly direction. If it continues on present course it could be swept over us with the low level winds. No advisories are posted as of this time but it looks like it will be Advisory #4 if & when.

Hello All, Looks like today is setting up for a picture perfect day. Nice refreshing breeze & not to humid. Good day to lime at the beach. We are behind the normal rain fall figures for the year.

Nice breezes, comfortable humidity, wonder how long this will last? Today appears to be a repeat. Getting to usual brief shower almost every night. Was at Herbert's Beach for a day picnic and couldn't help but notice how green the east end of St. Kitts was looking. None of that burned, parched look.

Greetings, Since last post we have had some showers although very isolated. Seems most of the rain fell on the western side of the mountain in the area of St. Thomas Parish.

Hello All, Sorry about the lack of reports in the several days. Most winter visitors have left & the streets of Charlestown have reverted to the summer crowd look. Weather wise......total rainfall since 5-May-07 has been a measly .04 inches. Barely enough to feel the drops. Once again gardens are starting to "brown up". Swimming pool levels are dropping due to evaporation. Breezes have been light, just enough to make it feel comfortable. Did a 4 day sail to Anguilla for race week, will have a couple of photo's next posting. Need to reduce size of photo's for posting to internet. All in all thats the weather here on Nevis.
