Bahia de Concepcion summer temperatures
I am considering full-time retirement near Bahia de Concepcion. Previously I lived in Punta Banda and the summers were great but the winters chilly.
Most of my visits to Bahia de Concepcion are in the winter or early spring. I previously lived in Bakersfield Ca where it was normal that highs in the
summer would be in the 110 range with nights holding around 100. I am fine with Bakersfield type summer temperatures. Are typical summer temperatures
in Bahia de Concepcion dramatically higher than 110? Thanks Ron

Ron, I'm dreaming of the warm weather now. In Punta Chivato the summer, mid June through Sept. isn't as hot as Bakersfield. Somewhere in the mid to
high 80's with some 90's thrown in and if the north wind is blowing it'll go over 100º. What kills you is the humidity. 85% + except during the north
winds and then it's a welcomed 30% or so. One of the big draws of Punta Chivato is the wind comes off the water and helps moderate how hot it feels.
Ask around in Concepcion and see which areas get the wind. You really want it during summer and it'll help if you're in an area with bugs. There are a
lot of places here for sale or rent in some cases you might want to check it out also.

yea...summer is WAY better than winter
normal temps are 95-100 in the day but the humidity is huge
today it's clear and 75 and we are sitting around the heater
over at coyote and burro is is much hotter because the rocks never cool down
you do need an air conditioner for the evenings to sleep

i saw this sign at kilometer 108 Coyote Bay long ago..it was summertime.
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
It's hotter than the Gates of Hell"
I tempted fate one July, August, & Septmeber...whew...never again.

Beware of those pool dogs... they can lick you to death if they smell Pacifico!
Seriously we love the summer... because the sea water is bathtub warm... Bahia Concepcion is great.
At night, the heat and humidity combo does make air conditioning a wonderful thing! Stay at Bob & Susan's Playa Frambes Lighthouse Resort... a
place fit for a king... and the low price for luxury is no joke!

the winter brings the snowbirds

But Bob..there are SO many better places to be in the heat of a Baja summer. Heat stroke is not pleasant. Most Italians I know prefer the
mountains in summer...Like where I will be....
If you HAVE to be in the hotbox of the Bay during summer...you will need mucho sunscreen protection and drink gallons of water each day to prevent
sunstroke and dehydration. I almost died twice from lack of Coppertone and cold beer...it was the worst ten minutes of my life...

Forget about it unless you have A/C for the evenings.
The times I've been there between July-September have been miserable. It's so easy to say that all you have to do is take a dip. But the area is often
cut off from any breeze in the summer. You're literally uncomfortable outside in about 10 minutes after a dip. Yes, that's in the shade.
Not for me.

I get the message. The place I am considering is near Santispac. It has air-conditioning but no electricity. It has a generator but it is surrounded
by other dwellings. I'm guessing that those that "tough it out" in July, August and September won't appreciate a generator running at night. I also
have a motorhome with air-conditioning but again the problem with generator noise. Maybe all the neighbors leave in the summer? If not, looks like
we'll have to spend the summer months further North on the Pacific Ocean side??

Susan, Wish I saw 75º today. Maybe 65º now 62º @ 5:20. Had a couple hours out of the wind to read in the sun. The wind has been howling 15 to 30mph
all day with a high gust of 43mph. Hate to be in a tent!
They are all right about how miserable it is here during the summer. But there are fewer people and the fishing use to be outstanding. Being out on a
boat or exploring beaches with no foot prints is a bonus. And the beer is soooo much colder in the summer. Hope to have my AC in before June when
things really thaw out here. 15+ summers And I'm old (almost) I deserve some comfort this year.

I live in the Loreto area and also have a home in Phoenix, AZ (not great planning but...) I far prefer Phoenix in the summer. 110-120 but it's a dry
heat. AND almost every place is air conditioned. being in the humidity here in late August, September, early October (and some of the shoulder time
some years) is miserable, although I admit the water is marvelous, etc. at a minimum, you need air conditioning to sleep at night. I'd say most
people who are able to leave plan their time away for the summer months.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

I would think that anybody still there in July, August, or September would come running over to your house for the AC when they hear the generator
start.
I can't take it, I'm on the Pacific.

Maybe I am assuming something that isn't true. In a small beach community ie El Burro that doesn't have electricity do the residents run generators at
night? Thanks Ron

I can't speak for El Burro, but in the small beach community of El Juncalito where I used to live, anyone still there in the heat most definitely turn
on the acs and generators. you can't hear the other generators for yours....

Thanks to all. Guess I'll be like Pompano and tempt fate for at least one year. I've made some mistakes in the past and maybe a summer in the "gates
of hell" will be good for me!!

What;s that about the monsoon season, when all that self-same humidity roils up from Mexico?
Personally, as far as absinvestor asked, August and September (maybe also Late July and Early October) can be brutal down there because of the
humidity. Don't get me wrong, in that I absolutley love the area, be it from Santa Rosalia South to La Paz. But those two months in particular come at
a price. If I had the dinero, I'd live on both coasts of Baja, so I could enjoy the best of the seasons.
