The weather in Bahia Redonda:
Yahoo! El tiempo - Puerto La Cruz
Hurricane Zone: Most insurance companies use the following definition:
Where? From 12º 40' N to 23º 30' N and from 55º W to 85º W.
When? From July 1 to November 30 inclusive.
Carriacou is about 10 minutes of a degree south of 12º 40' North. In other words, you are out of the hurricane zone if you are in the ABC Islands, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago or in Grenada. Latitude 23º 30' North is, of course, the Tropic of Cancer which runs about 20 minutes of a degree north of Havana, Cuba and right through the southern part of Great Exuma in the Bahamas.
Longitude 55º West is out in the Atlantic well east of Barbados, about 10 minutes of a degree east of Paramaribo, Suriname. Longitude 85º West is just west of Cuba and runs right through the middle of Nicaragua.
This "box" is where you don't want to be during the Hurricane Season, from July 1 to November 30.
