Hmmmm...I'm a newbie. I think it will be on May 25th. The clouds in the afternoons lately have been teasing us!

You're seeing the "practice" clouds, they begin this time of year and normally are huge white puffy ones along the S shore and they tease, but the rain won't start until mid June, and even then we'll often see obvious rain along the S shore that never comes here. The typical season sees clouds with lightening about bed time and they come from almost due E and bring us rain about 4am. If they're a bit S they go to Michoacan or a bit N they split and go to Guad or areas N, and that's not all bad, that's in our runoff plain so there's a chance we might get some of it.
The rains that normally come from the E seem to build and the further W the more you get.

We usually do this every year and it is fun. What MC forgot is that we usually ask for date and time, not just date. You can already see the problem when so many have chosen the same date. Me, June 14 th 7:00 p.m.

OK folks, let's see who is this year's best rainy season prognosticator. Guess what day we will receive the first significant rainfall, 1/2 inch or more, as measured at Steve's weather station in Riberas.
And the prize is ...................

We might get a sprinke before that late one afternoon but it will take a biggie to get 1/2"
I'm ready for it to start

I hope those of you guessing late May are correct - we're dying this year from the heat and extreme dryness! I don't remember it being this bad in the 5 or 6 years we've been here.
