St. Kitts and Nevis Weather Forecast

This detailed weather forecast, valid until 8:00 AM on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, predicts generally fair and stable conditions for the next 24 hours. A ridge of high pressure dominating the region is acting as a stabilizing force, significantly limiting the possibility of extensive shower activity. While some isolated, brief showers may occur, the overall expectation is for predominantly partly sunny skies during the day and fair to partly cloudy conditions overnight. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 31°C (88°F) and a low of 21°C (70°F), offering a comfortably warm day and a cool night.

The forecast elaborates on the daytime conditions, anticipating partly sunny skies across the area. There’s a slight, 20% chance of brief, passing showers, suggesting that any precipitation will be localized and short-lived. The influence of the high-pressure ridge will be the primary driver of this stable weather pattern, suppressing the development of widespread cloud cover and significant rainfall. Therefore, residents and visitors can generally expect a pleasant day with predominantly sunny conditions and only a minimal risk of encountering a brief shower.

As evening approaches, the forecast predicts a transition to fair to partly cloudy conditions. While the skies may become partly obscured by clouds, the overall impression will be one of fair weather. The chance of a brief, passing shower increases slightly overnight to 40%, categorized as a moderate probability. However, these showers, similar to the daytime, are expected to be short-lived and not widespread. Temperatures will drop to a cool 21°C (70°F), providing a comfortable respite from the daytime warmth.

Wind conditions are forecast to be generally moderate, blowing from the East at 15 to 28 km/h (9 to 17 mph). These easterly winds will contribute to the overall stable atmospheric conditions. The forecast also mentions lighter wind spells overnight, suggesting a decrease in wind speed as the temperature cools. These moderate winds are not expected to cause any significant disruptions and will likely contribute to a pleasant breeze throughout the day.

Sea conditions are predicted to be relatively calm, with wave heights ranging from 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet). This calm sea state reflects the stable atmospheric conditions prevailing in the region. These conditions are favorable for marine activities and pose no significant threat to coastal areas. The combination of stable atmospheric conditions and calm seas creates an ideal environment for various recreational activities.
