Weather Underground shows the record low for La Paz on Feb 6 to be 48° in 2007.

When I got up this morning about 7AM, our outside reading showed 48°.

48 in Comitan also outside. How do you get the Deg. symbol?

gnukid - 2-6-2011 at 08:22 AM

The reading comes from the La Paz airport actually at 5:42 am. Those of us close to the water are insulated by the Bay of La Paz. It's a bit spooky out there this morning, cool, everything closed... paranormal confirmations by DK, or is it just his post count that is abnormally low-spooky.

Of concern to me are our tomato, tomatillo, flowers and our local parrots. And the poor Ficcus, they do not like cold weather like this, I think we could take a hard hit across the flora and fuana from last nights cold.

I thought I woke up in La Mision this morning!! BRR que frio!!! Waiting for the sun to go to work, then heading out to San Juan De La Costa. Should be some good beachcombing after all this wind and swell the last few days. ;)

All I know that, for the first time in 20 some years, I had my electric blanket at Hi, here in Nopolo/Loreto.:no::no::biggrin:

Tomatoes and Tomatillos are fine as long as they stay above freezing...some of my plants even survived the upper 20s this last autumn. Pretty sure the Ficus can take the cold temps, depending on the variety---lots of Ficus growing in San Luis Obispo even, that far north.

Hold down the Alt key with one finger and press 0,1,8, & 6 with the other on the right hand number pad on your keyboard. Alt+0186 = º

nbacc - 2-6-2011 at 09:32 AM

Hummmmmm I hope it changes as I will be there i several weeks. Nancy

comitan - 2-6-2011 at 09:32 AM

Find the º symbol, click on it, click select, then click copy and paste it where you want.

Edit to add, DK showed you an easier way.

I cheated. The degree symbol is in gnukid's post so I just copied & pasted it from his post.

Bajajorge - 2-6-2011 at 09:45 AM

One of the weather sites in San Felipe showed the low to be 34f the other morning, with another report of 29f on the beach there. I again say, so much for global warming.

WOW !!

Now THERE'S some useful information ! DK, you're still a wonder of great trivia, info, and tips !

I'm going to forgive you for one of the times you mistakenly called me a "lib".

rancho la aguja temp

rob - 2-6-2011 at 10:40 AM

Yesterday morning the weather station showed 37º (thanks DK) - the lowest temperature in the 10 years we have lived on the ranch.

Interestingly, the highest temperature ever recorded was Feb 4th, 2005 at 41C/105.8F! Our hottest temps are always in a north wind in winter - the wind is offshore and presumably arrives pre-heated.

Trueheart - 2-6-2011 at 12:17 PM

Ah yes, the degree symbol. Been wondering how to do that as well. David, I tried your method as it would be the simplest, but it doesn't work on my pooter. Next, I googled it and got the suggestion about "alt+0176" (not 0186) and releasing the alt key first, but that didn't work either. The next suggestion was the character map as per BillP, and that of course works, just more cumbersome to get there.

Thanks all for the lesson this Sunday AM. Have a great S Bowl day. Steve

Easier on a Mac. Press option & 0 you get º
Press option & n you get ñ

Kate, no swimming for a while, I guess.
It has warmed up nicely here in TS. 10 degrees early this morning but in the low 20ies most of the day and little or no wind.

vandenberg - 2-8-2011 at 09:05 AM

Degree symbol on Laptop.

Press down on FN & alt key and type mj8o on keyboard.
Keyes have number symbols on top right of key.

That's as much work as typing "degs"!

capitolkat - 2-8-2011 at 04:47 PM

While you folks were fiddling around with the keyboard the weather changed- 87 degrees on the hill in La Paz. The sun is really hot today--

Bajahowodd - 2-8-2011 at 04:56 PM

I've mentioned it in the past, but, the fact is that Baja is just not far enough South to avoid the occasional blasts from the North. Face it, only the Southern tip of the peninsula is in the tropical zone. That is even further enhanced by the prevailing NW winds on the Pacific.

If anyone really seeks to avoid the occasional and random blast of cold, they probably should relocate to the mainland and be about as far South as Puerto Vallarta.

bajabass - 2-8-2011 at 07:45 PM

I like it here!!:tumble: Launched at Muertos, ran through glass out to the outer south end of Cerralvo, picked up a few small fish, 80 degrees and sunny. It did hit 48 at Los Planes on the way to the ramp. Brrr!
