Bermuda Byways Tours

Can’t even tell you to get out there early… It’s still raining…

As the low centre to our west inches closer, periods of light rain will occasionally include heavy showers with strong winds, especially this morning. Precipitation then gradually decreases as we near and go through the weekend. Winds become light and variable as the low centre creeps overhead early Saturday then shifts away to the east.

Humidity a mere 98% Sigh

Winds southeasterly 12 to 18 knots, occasionally increasing 16 to 22 knots, easing southerly 10 to 15 knots by evening.

Seas inside the reef calm to 2 ft… Outside the reef 3 to 5 ft.

Whether we like it or not… It’s here…

HURRICANE SEASON… Sigh

If you look up the 2023 predictions, you’re thrown stuff like El Niño and west African monsoon and warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Everyone however, seems to think that this is going to be a normal or below average hurricane season. And that would be just fine.

At any rate, here we go….. Here’s this year’s storm names

Get out there early!

Showers develop once again later today into tonight.

Intermittent wet periods continue due to the lack of protection from an uncharacteristically weak Bermuda-Azores high to our east while low pressure meanders to our west.

Light to moderate wind will maintain mostly slight seas, perhaps touching moderate this weekend.

Winds will generally be light to moderate. Seas will return to calm.
