Hi folks of the Caribbean
We woke up this morning with thunder, lightning and much rain.
This due to a disturbance in the central Caribbean sea.
The sky is still overcast and there is more rain to come.
Nice day to sit back and relax and enjoy mother nature.

Blessings
Robert

Hi everybody
At last we got some rain that we were waiting on for long.
This due to a disturbance over the central Caribbean.
The sky is still overcast and we can espect locally a few
showers during the next hours.
Let's hope so, because the fruit trees need it so badly.
Will keep you posted,

Blessings
Robert

- Much needed rain arriving.....

Hi fellow caribbeans.  
Hope everyone is doing allright in the rest of the caribbean.
Blessings from down under. Its been awhile since my last report. Last year I 
didn’t send anything. It was a quiet season though with not much significant 
weather.
We have been coping with lots of warmy weather lately. Dry season has been too 
long. We have been surprised last month with some showers. We woke up wet this 
morning with some passing showers from the southwest. Its very cool at the 
moment. 

Weather:
Tonight through Wednesday morning: Partly cloudy with locally a brief shower 
during the morning and further during the day generally dry.
Forecast high will be 33ºC and low will be 27ºC.
Sunrise will occur at 06:23 and sunset at 19:01 hours.

Winds:
East and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11to 21 knots). Mainly 
during the day, occasionally strong in gusts; force 6 (40 to 50 km/h, 22 to 27 
knots).

Synopsis: 
Lingering moisture will allow some cloud formation at times. During the early 
morning hours these clouds can produce a brief shower over parts of Bonaire and 
Curacao.

Sea conditions: 
Moderate with 1 to 2 meter waves ( 3 to 7 feet).The highest waves are over the 
Northern exposed waters.
Outlook until Thursday morning: 
Partly cloudy with a morning shower possible.

Reporting near the oil rifenery…… Guy reporter…..  Blessings and keep safe
