West End Village, Roatan, Honduras, Bay Islands Department, Honduras
I’ve been monitoring the weather at the CTU, aka Toronto, and am aware there’s been an inordinate amount of precipitation, sometimes wet, sometimes snow white. This made me wonder about the folks in S/E Asia; the Arab lands; the Americas more south of us; and Europe? Are you guys finding it wetter than you think it should be at this time of year in your home and native lands or places you’re currently visiting? And more importantly, has thunder and lightening accompanied the rain you may be receiving?
.
Here in Roatan we’re often getting severe downpours that can last damn near a day before taking even a small break—and there’s been zero thunder and lightening throughout it all. I get the eerie feeling that sooner than later poor little Roatan might be consumed by our warmer seas and become just another part of the reef. This kind of thing is happening in places like India, Indonesia and Thailand, but those countries have far greater land mass, so their people can more easily squeeze into hill-country if need be. Take a look at the global heating link:

I’ve just finished a nice little early morning dive. The sun shines on flat seas and everything feels right again. Whoops, gotta run; it’s raining again.

as usual beautiful pictures, our rain is white, stay on the ground and freeze your arse off with winds that can almost take you a couple of kils away from your point of interest. And if that isn't bad enough we got a whole crap load of toxicity happening in Ottawa. Who knew the Village or the Damned had resurfaced! Enjoy your stay for as long as possible, if this wind keeps up Ross and I may find our house has shifted a little more east. ttfn

Iak don’t run you are already wet since you were diving. Living on the Wet coast I mean the West coast you embrace the rain. I will take rain over snow any day. Our Cherry Blossoms are out in Victoria. Pics are beautiful.

Love your photos of the nice fishies, feels like a long time ago since we've done some nice snorkeling, all the way back to Moalboal in 2020. We had less rain than normal in Chiang Mai but quite a few days of rain on Koh Samet and it was pouring down on the drive back to Bangkok. Quite a lot of thunder and lightning as well but that's not that unusual this time of the year. But otherwise La Niña (and El Niño) often gives the opposite weather on the two sides of the Pacific (East/West). Drier on the one, wetter on the other.

Loving the underwater shots. If I saw the stingray I’d probably panic.
