What is it?

Coral bleaching risk from NOAA Coral Reef Watch for its "Honduras" region (centred at 16.7 N 85.85 W), not just Roatán. Heat stress adds up the extra heat of the last 12 weeks; from Alert 1, bleaching is likely. The water is the coolest and warmest in the region that day.

More about the tide

Sea level from a model of about 8 km, in metres above mean sea level; the model gives one value per hour, hence the margin on the times. Tides in Roatán are small (about 20 cm between extremes in these 48 hours), and wind and pressure change them.
