Bocas drought alert


It looks like we are in for some very dry weather, if the weather forecast below is anything close to accurate. No rain other than a "possible morning shower" for the next two weeks. The forecast is below. Of course, it is not precisely accurate because it is a forecast for the PROVINCE of Bocas del Toro and not just the islands. Usually, these forecasts use the primary city of the province as a base, which in our case would be Changuinola. And we all know that the ecosystems of the individual islands are not all the same; sometimes its dry here and raining in town (or vice versa). Nevertheless, weather systems of any substantial size that arrive in the province will usually make their way to the islands. And there aren't any predicted for the next two weeks, as of now.
Those of us who are totally dependent on rain water should institute severe conservation measures and if there is no rain for a few weeks in town, the town water supply will probably result in poor water pressure and even periods of no water (again). And we are heading into a very busy time period due to Carnaval, which means water resources will be heavily utilized.

HERE'S THE FORECAST (which I get on my desktop every day via the Firefox weather plug in):
