Poured down rain here from about 3:30 til 4:00 pm. Thunder too. Very unusual, if not unheard of, in March - but hey, we'll take the rain!

Hail!
We had a thunder storm come thru about 10am that had hail in it. I don't recall ever seeing hail here. Lotsa rain and wind too. Thunder so loud it
shook the ground.

we had a perfect summer day in Ojo de Liebre lagoon...flat calm and about 80 degrees at least...perfect for gazing into the eye of a baby whale! The
ocean is wonderful for swimming still too which sure was nice to cool off in. This has been the warmest winter I can remember in central baja!

I've been exploring baja for 30 years and spending months at a time in baja since I retired 6 years ago. And I know many reading this message board
have spent much more time on the peninsula.
Generally speaking, I think the peninsula is getting wetter, which to my mind is a good thing. What do you guys think? Are there any rainfall annual
data?
BTW, it appears the SoCal Santa Ana conditions are weakening. Ojala.

One can hope that Baja may be on it's way to what it was in the not-so-distant past. According to some local ranchers, up until the late 50's Baja
Sur was a lot greener with more moisture. Cattle herds were more numerous and more healthy ...resulting in a brisk business.
On the other side of the coin, Up North in North Dakota remains a nice constant...regular you might say.
In the winter we enjoy a great sport..going for a drive during rush hour....we call it Road Curling.

Well what do you think? Have you noticed it getting wetter or have rainfall amounts remained constant during your tenure?

Although the entire Baja peninsula still has one of the lowest precipitation amounts in the world....with the 5 major floods of the recent past a
heavy contributor, I think rainfall amounts have certainly increased in the Mulege area from the time I first came to the area. (1971) As a lot of
unfortunage homeowners can attest, the V-system of drainage from the western mountains contribute to that flooding during heavy rains.

Low 80s in the high desert this weekend (Lancaster, Willow Springs, Cal City, Randsburg). The wildflowers are doing their thing.

Thanks for the reply. Luckily for you, you probably have the most baja time under your belt than anyone here. Except, possibly, Skeet.

Record setting warmth.
We're at 80% snowfall and water accumulation but being told to turn on our yard water.
Ski season has been a disaster by all accounts.
Population is projected to increase by 2 fold in the next 10 years and the developers are loving it.
Utah has very few long term aquifers but a well developed surface damn storage plan placed into action by the original Mormon pioneers....much to
their credit....but unfortunately, very short lived compared to a natural aquifer geology.....

Yesterday in the 80s in San Diego, and dry dry dry-poor garden!
Finally cooling off. Temps in the 50s overnight.
