Plenty of rain over the weekend!
On Friday and Saturday we experienced lots of rain here on Barbados, with flooded streets and flipped cars. Yesterday afternoon it started around 3 PM and did not stop until late in the evening, very similar to rain in Hamburg, except that temperatures are still comfortable. Winds are strong and the ocean has been pretty rough. Our site got a bit flooded and little pools of water are present everywhere.
On Sunday morning no cloud was visible anywhere near us, except for some high cirrus. When passing the airport, we did not spot ACTOS and the helicopter, so apparently they did fly and sampled some aerosol layers in cloud-free air (http://barbados2010-actos.blogspot.com/2010/11/clouds-on-vacation.html). Small patches of cumulus humilis have started to move into the area a few hours ago – and hopefully the trades are back to usual soon.
Louise, was that a result of your driving?
Do you think I can drive and take a picture from the back window at the same time? (I cannot) …I was sitting in the back and Katrin and Clara were steering our red jeep…
Wait, both Katrin and Clara were driving!?
No no, Katrin and I take turns, at that point she was driving…Clara was giving her directions….and I was taking pictures…
