Humidity in San Felipe?
I have a home in Nayarit,Mexico where at least 6 months of the year it is hot and humid (jungle environment) ...I have been in Loreto when a chubasco
came through and it would be hot and humid for a few days then just turn hot and dry...How is the humidity in San Felipe, does anyone keep a humidity
gauge or have a yearly humidity average?

It is humid and hot in August... with sometimes a bit in July and September, otherwise usually a very dry, desert that can be hot or cold depending on
the season. Perhaps a look at the San Felipe web site weather pages will give you some historic record keeping: http://www.sanfelipe.com.mx
Here is the page: http://sanfelipe.com.mx/about-san-felipe/climate/
>> Climate
From mid-July through mid-September, the climate is hot and humid and not unlike that of Miami except that thunderstorms are very infrequent. The sea
temperature during this season is around 90°F and the shade temperature on the beach is about the same. Conditions are ideal for a leisurely swim and
gentle aquatic exercises. Little, if anything, gets done in town and many of the American retirees flee for cooler climates like San Diego, Oregon and
Washington. You can get our daily weather updates of what it is like in San Felipe by checking our weather page.
The major rainfall for the area comes in late August and September when tropical storms and hurricanes in the Pacific send lots of moisture over Baja
into Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. This rainfall is generally intense and brief, but 1 – 3 inches may fall in a couple of hours. Typically, only one
such bout of rain will occur during a season.
October through March brings crystal clear days with temperatures in town reaching the 70s while the sea water and the beaches will be mostly in the
60s. Rainfall can come in early January from storms blowing down from California. Amounts of rain are generally small and last a couple of hours or
less. <<<

The humidity in San Felipe does vary depending on how near you are to the sea. Tony's weather station (at http://sanfelipe.com.mx/current-weather/) is right on the sea, so shows quite high humidity, all year.
It's lower a couple of miles inland. Here's my weather station, in El Dorado, just north of town but a mile or two from the water:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
You can pick specific days by changing the dates on that page, and change to/from C/F with the little slider way up on the top right.
For a second opinion, there's another weather station a couple of miles further inland (and higher), still in desert conditions:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
To compare, there's a good weather station very near the beach at Villa Marina about the same distance south of town, they have a few percent more
humidity:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
Looking at Loreto, they seem to typically have 70-90% humidity in the summer:
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
San Felipe is more like 30-70% at that time (and often much lower in the winter, I've seen 9%). An exception in both places when rain comes through,
but that's rarely more than a day or two.
So it's nowhere near jungle conditions, except for the odd few days. But, the maximum temperatures will be higher than a tropical area, it can be
relentlessly hot (100F+) for many months in the summer.
