Weather in the Islands

Checking on my Denver Weather Underground today I discovered that they list many many islands- including things like Tobi and Kapingamarangi. YIKES! Never would have occurred to me to look for the next 5 days weather in such places. Island Weather

ok- I thought it was pretty cool. Or is this well known and I'm just behind the times?

Well, that's interesting! But of course, one cannot predict the weather in Kapingamarangi probably more than 5 hours in advance, as with most atolls, and even on Rarotonga! [unless there's a cyclone/hurricane coming]

That website also shows "Hanan" in the Cook Islands!!! Turns out it's a town on Niue. Oh well, what's one little country vs another when you're a world weather website!

hey- I can predict the weather in Palau a year in advance- it will be 85 degrees, 85% humidity, the sea will be 85 degrees, and there'll be an 85% chance of rain in the afternoon. You wonder why they can't keep a weatherman? They die of boredom. The night we had an earthquake I called (what the hell- is this really an earthquake?) and they were so excited- the first thing new in months and months!

With some small errors- there are sure a lot of tiny out the way places they list. I'm impressed.

and thanks Raro- I thought it was really neat.

Waldos: Have you been to Kapingamarangi?

yes- and many of the islands on the way from Pohnpei to Kapinga. The ship stops at about 5 little island groups.

"For the life of a dawg, spend some time on Maug."

did. in the middle of a typhoon. Got stuck there. But from where the quote?

but there are several different places that sound like Maug. One is maug-maug. But have no idea of spelling.

The Maug I'm mentioning is in the Northern Marianas. did you make it to that one? I read it may be deserted now.

The quote is, well, the second from my "Quotes for people thinking of going to CNMI" essay [still unpublished... :) ]
