Corn, cantaloupe, and tomatoes are loving it. Don't believe the northwesterners here appreciate a bit of warm humidity though, couldn't say. Temp is 96F, humidity is 66%.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if it raised its leg and.....................

same here as in bahia asuncion/basjaboy- lots an lots of clouds to the east - clear skies over the ocean, a little rain to watch would have been fun.

I am not used to this humidity. and I hear oladulce when she says you all are probably rolling your eyes at us wimps but IT IS HUMID. I don't remember the last time I sweated in la bocana. even when I go out cleaning....dry heat with no sweat.

I am meltinggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Still raining. Just looked out the window at the ocean and the current is
very swift to the north. So, warmer waters coming north. You can see it
on the noaa site.

It finally stopped raining here. We had a wonderful all day soaking here in Buena Vista, sometimes light, sometimes hard but it was all good. The roads are washed out and there are leaks where we didn't know we had them but tomorrow it will be back to normal.

My boat is on a buoy in front of the house and I have been fortunate that the pelicans had not chose to roost on my boat....so far. I understand that once they "zone in" on your boat they are hard to get rid of. Now, I think pelicans are fine birds but being a new boat owner I see them in a different light than I did before. I looked out and saw 6 pelicans sitting...and chitting on my boat so in a driving rain I launched the dingy and went out there to shoo them off. While I was there I went ahead and washed the boat and the bimini of the pelican poop, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a fresh water rinse while it was raining. Hopefully they will find another place to roost.....

Not sure how much rain but I would think a few inches, it always seems like more than it actually was. What I actually said was "new boat owner" as in being new to boat ownership. I've had small boats but not one that is left out for the birds to roost on. Tha boat is a 26' Blackman Billfisher.

My daughter and son in law were staying at a campo on the east cape about 40 or so miles north of San Jose Del Cabo. Couldn't get out after heavy rains flooded:O their road. Needed to get a flat bed tow truck to get their rental car back to the main highway so they could catch their flight home.
