The sun here in St Thomas is HOT....there normally is a great wind blowing across the Atlantic from Africa however today no wind...I think a storm is brewing, hot here...no breeze...humid...
Located inside of twenty degrees from the equator, St. Thomas' weather is characterized by lots of sun and warm Caribbean breezes. St. Thomas weather is truly tropical - an annual average temperature in the high eighties and varies little between seasons, keeping winter months hot and sunny though slightly less humid than summer. Many restaurants and shopping malls are air-conditioned to combat the St. Thomas weather, but sticking close to the beaches (with plenty of sunscreen) is also a good idea, as trade winds blowing off the sea tend to make these areas a bit more pleasant and you can always go for a dip to cool off. The St. Thomas weather also backs off a bit inland, where higher altitudes mean slightly chillier days and nights, especially in the winter season.
Really odd thing is the energy company (WAPA) is sooo high but the shops and restaurants keep the doors standing wide open, I suppose to lure you in on from the heat...
A few weeks ago we had so much rain (rainy season) everything was soggy...Remember, we have the Jeep, top down and back out? Well the top was on but the back was open....One morning Gary went down to make sure it was going to be dry for me to drive to 2nd shift....opened up the back door and yes sir …. there was water standing in the back of the Jeep. Along with that standing water, he found two (2) dead baby frogs, floating in the back.....we both laughed thinking about raining cats and dogs but here, baby frogs...poor little guys...as Gomer Pile used to say ... surprise - surprise !!
Today is the day before the winter Equinox which is December 21, we are going to have an Eclipse…total eclipse!! I have read it will be around for two nights......It is so dark here over the water….we should be able to see it really well…Certainly looking forward to that….I hope we get to see it….if I fall asleep early, there will be tomorrow night...
until the next time "There's a bad moon rising!"
