Weather in Cayman

SYNOPSIS

An increase in cloudiness and showers is expected across the Cayman area over the next 24 hours as an area of low pressure forms over central Cuba along a pre-existing trough. This area of low pressure is expected to drift over western Cuba by Sunday afternoon. Radar images show scattered showers mainly south of Cayman Brac, with isolated showers in and around Grand Cayman.

Description:
The Global Infrared Satellite image shows clouds by their temperature. Red and blue areas indicate cold (high) cloud tops. Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of terahertz radiation and microwaves. Weather satellites equipped with scanning radiometers produce thermal or infrared images which can then enable a trained analyst to determine cloud heights and types, to calculate land and surface water temperatures, and to locate ocean surface features.
