St. Kitts and Nevis Meteorological Forecast

This detailed weather forecast pertains to a specific 24-hour period, commencing at 8 PM on Sunday, January 19, 2025, and concluding at 8 PM on Monday, January 20, 2025. The forecast highlights the prevailing atmospheric conditions, including temperature, precipitation probability, wind patterns, and sea state, providing a comprehensive overview of the expected weather for the designated timeframe.

The overarching weather pattern is characterized by low moisture levels, which are expected to limit the occurrence of showers. Despite the dry conditions, the presence of a fresh to strong easterly wind flow is anticipated to introduce periods of cloudiness throughout the forecast period. This dynamic interplay between dry air and robust winds creates a nuanced weather scenario with a slight chance of isolated showers.

For the overnight period, from Sunday evening into Monday morning, the forecast predicts partly cloudy skies with a 20% chance, or slight possibility, of showers. This suggests that while some cloud cover is expected, any precipitation is likely to be minimal and scattered. The temperatures during this period are not explicitly stated but are likely to fall within the daily range of 24°C (75°F) to 30°C (86°F).

Looking ahead to Monday, January 20, 2025, the daytime forecast mirrors the overnight prediction, anticipating partly cloudy conditions with a slightly increased chance of showers at 30%, still classified as a low probability. This slight increase in shower potential could be attributed to daytime heating potentially triggering localized convective activity, despite the overall dry air mass. The daytime high is expected to reach 30°C (86°F), while the low for the overnight period into Tuesday is expected to be 24°C (75°F).

A significant aspect of the forecast is the predicted wind conditions. East winds are expected to prevail, ranging in speed from 26 to 43 km/h (16 to 26 mph), with gusts reaching up to 54 km/h (34 mph). These relatively strong winds contribute to the forecast sea state, which is expected to be moderately rough, with waves reaching heights of 1.5 to 2.4 meters (5 to 8 feet). This has prompted the issuance of a small craft advisory, cautioning operators of small vessels about potentially hazardous sea conditions.

Finally, the forecast provides astronomical information relevant to the forecast period, indicating a sunrise time of 6:44 AM and a sunset time of 5:59 PM on Monday, January 20, 2025. This information completes the comprehensive weather picture, providing a detailed outlook for the 24-hour period, encompassing temperature, precipitation probability, wind, sea conditions, and daylight hours. The overall forecast suggests a relatively dry but breezy day with a slight chance of showers and moderately rough seas.
