Weather Info

DATE: June 06, 2006
 

Bad news for those of you who still need some fixes because it doesn’t look like you will have any better luck with the weather tomorrow. Overcast and reduced visibility should remain with us for the next day or two at least.  Tonight there is the possibility of thunderstorms and brief squalls.  The swell will remain off our port quarter at about the same height, 6-8ft.  Expect winds somewhere in the range of 10-15 knots coming from the south.  The temperature and humidity will increase as we near the ICTZ, whose influence we will be under starting around Thursday.  As we reach the Equator the weather will become more unstable and we can expect frequent squally thundershowers and continued reduced vis.
