Weather Underground Stations - Baja
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/ListStations.asp?...
Is anyone besides me looking at these stations ? I find them especially helpful right B4 heading down to a location near one of these stations.
There used to be a station at BOLA named "MEX MIKE"...he included a web cam looking out over the bay. Seems to have dropped off the list in the last
few months. Anyone know of him and maybe what happened to his weather station ? Thanks.

Found those, as you pointed out, what appear to be independent
weather info stations a while back. Looking at
San Felipe, one can scroll all the way down,
after putting a search for SF, and see 4 or so
different weather points in SF. Wasn't long ago,
I had to look at Yuma for SF temps

Very helpful. Does anyone know of other sites that list independent weather stations in Baja?

Here's a map link for the San Felipe area stations on Weather Underground. There are 4-6 stations online at any given time (the official station
76055 is the most unreliable). The northernmost site on there (often the hottest!) is mine.

I think almost all the local weather stations are on Weather Underground, there's nothing on alternate sites like pwsweather.com

I thought this was going to be a thread about Patty Hearst!

Sonrisa is by far the most accurate I've found for Mulege area. I know a lot of boaters view this site as well. ~~ http://sonrisanet.org/

What I like about these personal Weather Stations (especially the BOLA site) is that one can monitor a site daily and look for patterns and thus site
specific weather behavior. e.g. ...a few months back I was monitoring the daily wind recordings at BOLA and noticed how the wind suddenly changed in
the 10:30 - 11:30 AM time frame from mild westerly to strong northly winds in a matter of minutes. And it was consistent from day-to-day. As a
kayaker this told me I would have to get off the water by about 11AM or face serious gulf chop! The benefit is I have some local data B4 heading down
to camp/fish. The temp. data, rainfall, and webcam data are also useful if available just B4 heading down. I have been monitoring these sites now
for about 3 years.

I think Patty Hearst was SLA
Maybe Abbie Hoffman was part of the Weather Underground??
