Good Day, Good Everything, People of Paradise,

The branches of the vine never gets more than it could bear.

In like manner, we have a 36 hour reprieve before

something similar to the last three days reoccur.

Listen, I really don't want to know if I am right or whatever?

Because it's not for money or to help me personally.

And I think you should do the same.

We have enough trouble procuring tools and equipment

and keeping them working. So let's work on that instead.

God Bless

People of Paradise,

Within a few hours, specially for Trinidad and Tobago first of all,

We will have a system that resembles the rainy season of June

and July and August.

The good part is it will be short - lived.

That is the intensity will be short-lived.

Reason: This one will have breeze at times below 32 mph.

And seas will be un-friendly.

The above forecast is over 50% probable and endorsed by others.

Less forecasted and could prove dangerous,

is if after initial impact it spreads and lingers.

This is hardly likely !

God bless

Just for the records,

"In my opinion, the rainy season has started.

My definition is when, the ITCZ instead of dipping south

when it reaches 60 - 40 W. Longitude,

starts exiting systems north-west."

Apart from all this science,

- We had heavy rain fore-day morning Saturday

complete with rain flies, (wood ants or termites). -

Without joking now!

that my sister, Marian Angela Borde and

her husband, Peter Jennett, along with their rally team,

docked into St. Lucia on Wednesday 16th March 2016

2016-03-13th. Sun.

07:45 a.m.

Hearty Greetings to all People of Paradise,

Two (02) days ago, before dawn, we had copious rain on and off,

from about 2:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. I slept through it (quite comfortably)

but it's heralding of the 'wet' season was CLEAR from the deposit of

fine sand and silt in the driveway and the road out side the property.

Whether you believe the 'wet' season has started or for that matter

atmospheric conditions are experiencing a 'climate change',

in much less than 36 hours we (in the Eastern Caribbean)

will have a recurrence of 'moisture' heavier than two days ago.

It is my firm belief; "There is nothing 'good or bad',

simply and naturally what we are in control of and what affects us,

IS HOW WE DEAL WITH IT?"

In the height of last year, I read over and over, ...

..., Darwin did not postulate, 'survival of the strongest or brightest' !

But the ability to adapt is not just survival but true development.

God Bless

Happy Saturday in Lent,

People of Paradise,

There is not much to say in terms of the iguanas,

the pets, the garden, the forest and the seas.

But in the skies, at least in the images of the atmosphere,

in about 36 hours there is something that is difficult to analyse

coming our way.

At least it will be 2 - 4 days of drizzle.

If many, many other factors that are natural

and some due to climate change persist,

it will be 3 days of moisture with a climax somewhere

of very heavy rain.

Now, let me go and see if the water tank is full?

God Bless

Good Morning, good day, good night,

People of Paradise,

Over the last two days, we have had several drizzles,

off and on, short and sweet. Accompanied by a wind factor.

More accentuated than before to forecast,

tomorrow and Monday should have actual rain.

Let's not put on boots as yet,

as only when it's heavy in the fore-day morning,

can we say the wet season is here.

What we can do; is continue to,

conserve water and what causes

water to fall from the sky.

Only to say,

There is a strong chance of a drizzle or even rain

in totality (island wide), within 12 - 24 hours.

( Besides the position of The ITCZ, SAL,

there is wind shear. (Quite strong)! )

It only means the sun is trekking it's way back north

and we have to look forwards not backwards, ....

Dear People of Paradise,

Last weekend (check the websites ie. Trinidad Carnival 2016)

Carnival 2016 was launched with vintage Carnival.

This weekend the contemporary and qualifying competitors

will introduce themselves to be selected as finalists.

Top of this list is what is called,'PANORAMA'.

If you have never been to 'Woodstock'

this is the next best thing. 'Savannah Party' !

'One Nation Under A Groove'

You have to be there to understand.

With words, it's unbelievable!!!

I also attach better graphics of a phenomenon unfolding, ...

That is the sub-tropical storm.

Until then, Trinidadians are dancing with the devil, ...

Happy Carnival

Happy New Year, People of Paradise,

I am sorry.

I am very sorry.

I apologize.

But if the attached image is not

a graphic illustration of Global Warming

in action. Then what is ?

It so succinctly illustrates the drought-stricken Caribbean

and hurricane - hit Dominica 'climate' we had in 2015.

On a micro-scale, if we started off with one-third

of the world's global, mature, discreet, responsible,

population to PLANT OR SAVE (10) trees,

no matter how small, specially in industrial areas,

every week, then my calculated guess is

by the end of 2016, the gases below the surface

at the bottom of the ocean specially in The Arctic and Antarctica

will never be released.

Happy New year, once again

All the best of The Season,

All People of Paradise,

It is now ten past three on Sunday 13th December

and one hour ago an airmass dropped rain that seemed like drizzle

because the rain was falling at a slant on Diego Martin.

I was going to forecast this 2 days ago.

BUT IT DEFINITELY HAD AN AIR OF PESSIMISM.

This airmass of moisture has wind and has only now arrived.

It will be here for a day and a half, climaxing tomorrow early.

It will be a formidable (hazardous) system to South America.

I suspect, it's not over for the Lesser Antilles.

In other words it has the potential to be hazardous.

Once again it has wind.

God bless

WoW !

People of Paradise,

Are we counting down to the financial year end?

Are we counting down to a religious New Year?

Or,

Are we counting down to the end of the storm season?

I don't talk economics and finance but it was apparent

that the Trinidad economy was in a recession or stagnation or depression.

As I said I can't talk about those things.

But, (for November thus far),

First we had commemoration of the dearly departed and Memorial Day.

The graveyards were resplendent.

Then we had 'Divali' The Festival of Lights.

It was the first time for me to witness,

but apparently it was celebrated for three days.

Now Carnival, I mean Christmas celebrations have started.

Give Thanks, ...!

Weather-wise:

There is a system to the east in the area of Colombia.

To the West, there are two tropical waves.

thirdly, based on SAL and wind shear,

The ?feeder bands? should pass directly over the Southern Windwards.

"It should not be hazardous", but is worth noting.

God Bless

People of Paradise,

This is the ignominious tail I spoke of.

To recap:

- Storms are not characterized by graphical images or

consumer related advertisements and even warnings.

- More than one inch ( 1" ) of rain is hazardous.

- Consistent (> 90 secs.) breeze more than 27 mph. is hazardous.

- The two hazardous items listed above are exacerbated by high tide,

waves greater than 2.5 metres, saturated soil and mis-managed drainage.

...TROPICAL WAVES...                                            
TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 57W FROM 10N-19N MOVING W NEAR 20 KT OVER 
THE PAST 24 HOURS. SSMI TPW INDICATES THE WAVE IS EMBEDDED 
WITHIN A SURGE OF MOISTURE. NO ASSOCIATED DEEP CONVECTION. 
SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FROM 13N-15N 
BETWEEN 51W-54W AND FROM 15N-17N BETWEEN 53W-57W.

Hopefully this should be the last from the Cape Verde area?

Stay safe and sound

and

Hi, People of Paradise,

You wouldn't believe how busy I am the last two years

since my dearest mom passed away.

Sorry, I always just stick to the point.

The weather is really lovely as Stephen says and

Trinidad when bad conditions prevail

only damage isolated areas as a rule.

It is sunny and bright!

With gentle wafting breezes.

However within 36hrs. we can expect convection to resume

and the tail should provide some anonymity and backlash.

Put your boots on tomorrow (early) and don't let it fool you.

Trinidad and Tobago

Good morning to all the readers of stormcarib. Well these few days I have fallen in love with the weather here in Trinidad. we are seeing frequent afternoon showers with the isolated thunder storm for the past three days in a row. This weather was mainly caused due to the day time heating and the humid temperatures we have been having at around noon. Even though the ITCZ has made its way south heading into south america and no storms are on the horizon we still need to keep our guard up. You all have a blessed day in what ever you do.

The rain we should get today and tomorrow will

or should not be 'hazardous'.

But please don't do anything stupid and remember those affected.

(One of many reasons, it is moving over 15 knots westwards.)

However it is a combination of three systems and will bring relief

People of Paradise,

I am not going to attach pictures.

I am not going to be more dramatic than that !

I am not going to say anything political.

Caveat:

Without advertisement, my opinion is highly respected.

Imagine:

We did not have SAL (dry-air) and wind shear and 'El Nino'.

Imagine another low pressure system is 72 hours away.

Imagine we had three systems (minimum) affecting us already.

Why do I feel like a contraband vigilante,

or undercover writer doing somebody elses job,

When the right procedures and systems, input and output, feedback,

have not been done and could have been done.

When I end in 'God Bless',

the other part is,

'You do The Rest, ...' !

05:20a.m.

It is too early to sound any foreboding alarms.

Given that 'Grace' is;

- less than 100 miles in diameter.

- winds are less than 40 mph.

- there is no significant convection as yet.

- the greatest threat to 'Grace's' survival lie just ahead.

but I will type a few words.

'Grace' is less than 36 hours away from landfall.

If as in weather anything can happen

and precaution and prevention is better than cure.

Then three things obtain, ...

Those that are trepid should return to emergency shelters and safe havens.

Secure all loose material and debris from being blown about.

Harbour expensive equipment.

and,

Lastly stay calm, and do not venture out tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night.

God bless The commonwealth nation of Dominica.

God bless us all

Condolences

The most sincerest and heartfelt condolences

go out to the Families of Victims and All in General,

involved or remotely concerned with the passage of 'Erika',

Wednesday 26th. and Thursday 27th. August 2015 in Dominica, ....

"We have all been affected."

On the plus side, we pray to Almighty, Everlasting, All Merciful

and Beneficent God, to continue giving 'us' a 'Spirit of newness'.

This Divine Gift, while with heavy hearts and weary hands

but an absolved spirit we bury 'The Dead'. Who are by no means dead

because they live on in this Holy Spirit, for all of us.

Will take us to a brighter tomorrow.

Weather wise:

A TROPICAL WAVE IS MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC WITH AXIS 
EXTENDING FROM 16N48W TO 08N45W...MOVING W AT 5-10 KT. THE WAVE 
COINCIDES WITH A BROAD 700 MB TROUGHING BETWEEN 47W-51W. SSMI 
TPW INDICATES THE WAVE IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A SURGE OF LIGHT TO 
MODERATE MOISTURE WHICH IS BEING HINDERED BY SURROUNDING SAHARAN 
DRY AIR AND DUST. WITH THIS...NO SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION IS 
PRESENT ALONG THIS WAVE.

This wave just exited the ITCZ, which is at 0 - 5 N. Latitude

and the wave is at 12 N. 45 W.

I know absolutely nothing about wind shear and SAL but

a haphazard guess is that there is less resistance to spin formation from today.

May their souls, ~ Rest In Peace ~

Four (04) hours after the complete passage of Erika',

I will be up all night. Tangible relief efforts begin with each and

everybody's help at sunrise in the morning!!!

Tonight, we have got to plan. Before we prepared.

Tonight we do a stock check and a stop check,

because tomorrow,

"Once I remembered shoveling for 10 hours straight."

High Energy Work without Planning, is counter-productive and Panic.

Re-establish communications, don't help without verification and compliance.

Stay indoors until 4 hours after the complete passage of the storm.

If sequestered, move to an emergency shelter without complaining or

criticizing.but be proactive and complimentary.

Nothing is important now, ( imagine toxicity around you ), nothing

but your breathing, heart beat and blood circulation is important.

Boil water or add chlorine. Ask authorities?

Leave fallen fruits and dead animals alone.

Feel free to safeguard children and less fortunate.

(Which in no way I deserve the courtesy of Dave and Gert,

along with my much admired ladies like Martha and Isabel, ....)

Please donate, ....

- Anyhow one takes it the seas will be dangerous. (Yes, I used the word dangerous.)

- We can't thank God fully as yet for 'Danny' because he cleared up SAL,

WHICH IS BAD - for 'Erika' and the others.

- This is not 'Danny'.

a) It's survival chances are much greater and deadlier.

b) It is bigger and if it slows down. God help down the road.

c) The dwarfs and feeder bands are more pronounced.

Talking about feeder bands,

I base the rest of my input on an outlandish supposition, ...

It inverted (as hurricanes do when they exit the ITCZ) at 50 W.

outside of the ITCZ. This must mean something?

The tail or feeder bands turned from SE. to NW. and are now

North to South. or trying to be, depending on eventual direction / path.

It could slow down.

It is trying to form the eye after inversion.

It will not stay the same. Either break up or get more organised.

Then again who knows,

Good Morning to all,

These days in Trinidad I have to say have been extremely hot and sticky with high humidity levels. Please make sure and drink lots of water throughout the day and keep cool. Looking at the satellite map we can see more dry conditions for the forecast in Trinidad and Tobago. Lots of dry air as well. This proves that's its been a slow start to the hurricane season.

We have another blob in train. It's of note because

it's exiting the ITCZ at 50 W. 10 N. at 2:00 p.m. today.

It's barely discernible just like the others.

It is bombarded with SAL (dry air) just like the others.

It is barely visible because of the jet stream.

However as we know I write as best as possible

when it's 36 hrs. away.

the last blob sure did fizzle out after reinvigorating a dry scene.

Trinidad and Tobago and maybe a few more can expect

similar weather, (more rain), tomorrow. Maybe early tomorrow.

This is due to a combination of factors,

including the jet stream.

Please don't focus on me or my posts, or satellite images,

Preparing to protect life and limb is or should be a daily routine

It is not paranoia.

It is a tradition of our forefathers that has to handed down.

It is the history of survival.

People of Paradise,

Can you imagine we are in August of the year 2015.

It's 5:15 a.m. and everyone expects another normal sunny day in Paradise.

My one and only child if she lives to over 100 years old will survive three centuries.

Well folks, sad to say, it is not so.

Yesterday besides 'Saragossa' weed making the Tobago beaches unbathable,

We had rain, maybe on and off, but disruptive rain out of nowhere whole day.

I wonder if mosquitoes are planning a new chemical warfare attack.

Animals and birds that were in deep forests before, cross the streets and

are in plates, if not pets.

We don't only have drought, nobody is able to give a clear forecast.

I could go on but will end by saying,

"Marine life was the first to go."

There is a blob with already spin and adequate moisture exiting the ITCZ

after 40 W. Longitude which is a decisive time.

In addition: - The route of this blob in 36 - 72 hrs. is clearing up of SAL.

- Normally blobs are surrounded by SAL. The SAL that affected this blob so far

is now surrounded by moisture.

- After 40 W. if it breaks ITCZ, spin or no spin, it's a refreshing blob.

God Bless

Kick 'em Jenny alert lowered to Yellow
NADMA Press Release - Kick 'em Jenny Alert Lowered to Yellow
Jul.26.2015

NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT AGENCY (NaDMA) Grenada - The Seismic Research Centre (SRC), University of the West Indies has reported that the activity levels at the Kick-‘em-Jenny under water Volcano has reduced significantly during the last 48 hours. Since 6:00 p.m., on Saturday July 25th, no activity was recorded.

On Saturday, July 25th at around 5:50 p.m., a team including a Volcanologist from the SRC, Grenada’s Acting National Disaster Coordinator, and a camera person, participated in a fly over of the Kick-‘em-Jenny area by helicopter. The volcanologist, Dr. Frederic Dondin, who has conducted extensive research on Kick-‘em-Jenny, concluded, after his observations, that there was absolutely nothing unusual in the area.

Based on the above findings, and given the fact that the activity levels at Kick-‘em- Jenny has diminished, the Government of Grenada, based on the advice of the SRC has lowered the alert level to YELLOW with immediate effect.

The YELLOW alert level means that vessels should observe a 1.5 km exclusion zone. However, as a precautionary measure, the marine community is advised to continue observing the 5 km exclusion zone.

Stay safe all

Good Night To All,

Its been a while since I posted but there is something that grabbed our attention. A couple hundred miles away from the Caribbean is the first real sign of Tropical activity as a Tropical Wave has a low pressure system and its slowly gathering strength. The National Hurricane Center is giving this wave a 10% chance for further development. Its something for all countries to keep an eye at as the wave shows signs of getting stronger. Hope all is well and enjoying the C.P.L throughout the Caribbean.

03 : 30 a.m.

People of Paradise,

The much-needed and much-anticipated moisture/precipitation
should have reached some localities already. My analyses

while only are for Trinidad & Tobago, incorporate, by nature,

islands lower than Guadeloupe and up to The ABC islands.

We have had quite a crop of mangoes and guavas and paw-paws,

and even though more fortunate in the rain department,

the month long ripening of the golden apples which never ripened

keep us close to our drought-stricken neighbours.

One can easily generalize and say,

Global-Warming still exists even though,

atmospheric patterns are normalizing
and are more predictable in the norm.

It's much too early, but about 5 days away at 38 W. Longitude

There is a blob which will be the strongest yet
to battle SAL and wind-shear.

I am predicting discernible circular motion at 58 W. in 5 days time.

While it is too early to even do what I just did;

The fact is, the biggest one is 5 days away.

(And it's not going to turn south.)

Keep your boots on and umbrellas handy

while helping the less fortunate,

God Bless

In reality,

Diego Martin, Trinidad, has 400' -1,000' (Ft.) grey clouds
moving at about 35kph. Sparse as rain clouds go.

This scientifically means two things.

"It's going south america or is too fast to be cyclonic over t'dad."

"The lowness of the clouds means showers are here."

(In localized areas). Typical for let's say the first 15 blobs.

Good night to all readers of StormCarib. Well today Trinidad had a rude awakening to the rainy season. One of the season's early Tropical Waves made its presence felt as strong showers greeted everyone as they woke up this morning. intense rainfall was felt throughout Trinidad which caused flooding in our Capital. I was also caught by surprise as I was trapped in the middle of one of those rain showers while inside a business place for over a hour waiting for the flood waters to subside. We all should get ready for the season ahead of us.

People of Paradise,

One of the attached pics below is testimony

of how ' N~o~r~m~a~l ' June 2015

the wettest month in T'dad & T'bgo has been

in terms of Atmospheric Conditions.

That night it rained.

For practically three hours in fore-day morning it rained.

Not drizzled, not thunder showers, it rained. (with gentle breezes).

The morning sun, dawn, and trek to work was

a marvelous, miracle of re-creation, alleviation (from dryness),

and an overall Bliss of pressure, temperature and humidity.

Please, please, please, let's continue to live of of The Earth.

That was the third blob. In 36 hrs. for T'dad and T'bgo,

72 hrs. for The Virgin Islands areas, expect a fourth blob.

Except that it's from 39 W. - 47 W. Longitude, (large)

and that it is concentrated below 9 N. Latitude in The ITCZ,

only early arthritis says it can be nascent cyclonic.

There is too much SAL, it's the first one, it is too south,

there is too much wind shear.

Whatever happens, I am keeping my boots on
between June and November and when I lose our umbrella
buy a new one.

Now, THE MAIN EVENT :

T'dad & T'bgo will have National Elections, September 7th.

Hello,

There is an imminent blob that will skirt us well within 36hrs.

There are two good news and one bad news;

- It is moving very fast.

- It is very south.

The bad news is that,

- It will be at its biggest at about 62 W. Longitude.

That is also when it will make landfall. (as a tropical wave).

Keep your boots on,

and

God bless

- The season starts today (ample evidence) -

Good Fellows of Paradise,

I forecast rain, (specially as it just fell). (tee hee) ( like Grenada ) !

AND SOON.

TS. Ana is 12 - 36 hrs. from true landfall but my opinion is it will head out to sea.

There is a system forming, ( possible after eastern Caribbean ), at 40 W.

That 's not where the rain came from.

But at 60 W. the bands (I call feeder bands that make it cyclonic)

are touching the coast of Trinidad. Definite rainfall, ..., in 12 - 36 hrs.,

(If like all the previous the whole gamut doesn't go Venezuela or even Brazil.).

Thanks and Praise
