Wassup with the rain??

Going tomorrow, just checked weather.com & it says rain for the rest of the week, and all day, everyday..Not just an hour or so.... :depressed:

Well, it is the rainy season in Roatan...................

These are called "NORTHERS".

A simple thing to watch: When Texas gets a COLD SPELL... I mean the kind that delivers SNOW or sub-freezing temps... this causes a NORTHER. They appear from DEC>FEB

Here's one from today's images....

It can heavily affect Cozumel, Belize and the Northern side of the Bay Islands.

Other times during this, the "rainy season", the drizzles are caused by spin-offs from tropical storms (wannabe hurricanes) that track NW across the Caribbean Basin on their way to Texas. The great majority of Huricanes and Tropical Storms track to the North of the Bay Islands (Note the YELLOW DOTS •••• and make landfall as close as Belize, but most track further North and just dump buckets of rain to the South.

During the Hurricane/tropical Storm Season AUG>NOV.... A HURRICANE path, most likely Southern limit:

As "statistically safe" as you are to the South of the dotted line, you'll still get wet when one passes by to your North.

Thanks Roatan Man..But I dont care where it comes from, I just want it to go away.
Hope our whole vaca isnt a washout

 

[Doc]

You were going to be wet, anyway, so what's your beef?

I guess its better than NJ ~ We're suppose to get about 1 foot of snow tomorrow afternoon ! Hope we'll be off the ground before it starts. I need to stop bitching. At least its warm
