New Weather Station For BCS Pacific Coast

monoloco - 6-16-2013 at 05:12 PM

We now have a weather station online for Pescadero. You can access it here: http://www.wunderground.com/ If you type in Todos Santos in the search weather stations box you will see a site called Pescadero Heights and can see weather data for this area. Apparently this is the only online weather station for 700 miles of the Pacific coast. This station also uploads data to NOAA. There are also stations for La Paz, Miraflores, San Jose, and Cabo San Lucas. Enjoy!

Maybe next I'll install a webcam pointing at the San Pedrito surf break.

This is great news, as I used to look to either La Paz or Los Cabos data to get some idea of the conditions in Todos Santos, knowing that it could be - and often was - very different.

The high temperatures here have been about 30º less than La Paz recently, yet forecasts for this area are still erroneously predicting temps in the 90's for Todos Santos when it's barely hitting the 70's, hopefully this station will help Weather Underground and NOAA improve the accuracy of their forecasts.

Great! TS is one of my favorite baja towns. Way cooler 20 years ago, but that's true for every place if you're an old fart. ;D Remember the swimming pool at pedrito?

It says it's 93 there now, 2:11 PDT. Are you saying the the website is not yet using the data at the TS weather station? Did you set it up?

It looks like the "forecast" is using other data, but we can see the real temp., in real time. If you click on Pescadero Heights it will show the history from this station.

That is correct, for some reason Pescadero Heights isn't showing up on the wundermap yet. You still have to type in Todos Santos. I think that their forecasting is skewed by the fact that previously all their data was coming from the east cape. Hopefully, that will change now, but I have no idea how long it will take them to catch on. If you notice on the forecast though it will say that tomorrow's weather will be the same as today. We haven't seen over 75º here in a couple of months.

It's still pretty dang nice here, but it has lost some of the quaintness that tourists enjoyed, it's been good for residents though, more culture, better food, better communications, safer highway, and better music. San Pedrito was nice, but it was hard to stay open when everything got wiped out twice in three years.

It's funny, that it shows temperature in tenths on the site but it's rounded off to the nearest degree on my console.
