vandenberg - 8-17-2014 at 09:37 AM

This weather event very much looks like the one we had a few weeks ago, with severe winds and rain here in Nopolo.
Anything happening down south?
Judy??

Well, we went out fishing and came back, filled the dingy with water at the beach but at least we kept it upright.

Beautiful in Loreto right now, but from the looks of that we better tie things down!

Just got back from La Paz.
It rained every afternoon we were there; rained hard. The city has no drainage system-- none, and all the low spots in the roads immediately turn into running arroyos. Not fun.

That being said, I traveled south through the eastern mountains to San Jose del Cabo. It was a beautiful, green green drive through those charming little mountain villages. Do watch for the running arroyos and rocks that will come down onto the highway south of San Bartolo, however.

It has been overcast here all morning.
The wind has just picked up a bit.
Not one drop of rain YET.

Just looked at the web cam...no flash on my ipad.
It is darker here.

Dennis....that's not what we are talking about. This is local, like right on top of us!

This is it

Looks like a big one but no sign of it here.... Yet

Mulegena - 8-17-2014 at 02:38 PM

Mulege, BCS, 3:15 pm Sunday check-in

Big blustery winds have come up, south-east, accompanying thick high clouds in the distant south-east. Nothing out of the ordinary this time of year.

We got nothing...not one drop
Overcast all day
Sun peeking out now

Russ - 8-18-2014 at 06:36 AM

We had strong winds all night.

Mulegena - 8-18-2014 at 07:29 AM

Monday morning, Aug. 18, 8:30 a.m. check-in

Clear, sunny without a cloud, hot and no wind here in Mulege pueblo. Just hung up last night's laundry.

Went swimming yesterday evening just before dark. No big waves and the water was noticeably colder than in weeks past.

Yes, winds blew hard last night. I usually hang the laundry before going to bed but did not because it was blowing so hard things would have gone flying around the neighborhoo

Mulegena - 8-18-2014 at 04:46 PM

5:15 pm Mulege report, Monday the 18th August:

The winds had been howling for an hour or more, building up to a Mini-Chubasco that cracked open the sky for about a half-hour.

It drenched the laundry I had out on the line -- and myself -- before I could get it all down and inside. Oh well. Now, it's all over and done -- the rain, not the laundry which has to dry all over again.

Evening remains overcast, and muddy streets prevail. Beautiful sunset.

Such is summer in Southern Baja.

The laundry thing is always a challenge this time of year, isn't it.
I just rushed out to bring mine in because the clouds are building in the mountains.

David K - 8-20-2014 at 06:36 AM

This morning (Wed. 20th of Aug.) here in San Marcos (San Diego County, CA) it sounds like a chubasco coming! Big, deep thunder since 6 am !

woody with a view - 8-20-2014 at 09:14 AM

shari - 8-20-2014 at 09:26 AM

there is a beautiful big fat swell building here in Asuncion this morning...all pangas are being pulled out of the water as its gonna get huge...wooooo hooo...not gonna wash windows for the next few days...hahaha

chuckie - 8-20-2014 at 01:02 PM

You got windows?:O

rts551 - 8-20-2014 at 01:05 PM

Hopefully one doesn't decide to take a trip up the coast soon instead of moving into open water. The westward movement seems to be less and less.

BajaGringo - 8-20-2014 at 01:29 PM

We have been getting a lot of afternoon thunderstorms up in the hills east of us. Weathermen are predicting we should see some of that rain down here tonight and tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Whale-ista - 8-20-2014 at 02:03 PM

Thunder, lightning, and rain in San Diego County this morning.

Heavy rain inland, sprinkles on the coast.

There's also been a coastal advisory posted this morning. But It looked like a bathtub at the beach where I was walking this morning: very small waves, no swell to speak of.

woody with a view - 8-20-2014 at 03:40 PM

depending on where in SD, the summer swells may go right past due to the angle of the coast and direction of the swell. OB/MB/PB generally suffer in the summer.

pauldavidmena - 8-20-2014 at 04:09 PM

Gringo that I am, I had to look up Chubasco.
