Natasha Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Our 2-storey house is VERY cold from later evening through about 9:30 a.m. Solved that to great extent with blackout liner meant for curtains, but perfect for insulating thin single-pane glass windows----- holds cold out in winter, and heat out in summer. If you have anything you can attach to at windows with clothespins, these are SUPER easy to make. Fabric comes white and light beige. No "ease" required. Can cut lengthwise or crosswise. Available at some Parisina stores in Guad.... Plaza del Sol for one, main store downtown for another. Can't say for others. Washable (I do by hand) and lasts for YEARS. 55 - 56 inches wide. Last purchase $80 pesos per meter. Anyone wanting more info call me 376 766 3580 Happy to share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 The weather app that comes with kindle fire, with Chapala selected as town, forecasts a low of 30f on Dec. 31. I am not going to try to learn how to do a screen save in Silk operating system, or a photo - but that is what it clearly shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Down the street" is still in Brisas de Chapala! Also, what I stated is outside temperature, not inside. Our house stays relatively warm as the roof is in the sunshine all day. We were quite warm inside as we have added layers and, extra bedding. This is the same thing that happens every year, nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just now, virgo lady said: The Ajijic weather station is very high also. Check their lake cam view. Really think it is a thermo issue in Brisas.... I just spoke with two of our neighbors. One had a reading of 36 degrees and the other had 39 degrees. Our thermometer is just fine. I don't particularly care what other sources say, I know what our thermometer states and, our neighbors have verified temperature, this is about the same temperature that we have every year up here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Micro climates all around the lake that differ from the fixed weather stations... same with level of rain fallen and wind. I won't get into cell phone coverage and/or internet speeds. It is what it is where you is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no source for them to get information for Chapala. Chapala has a microclimate because of the large body of water surrounded by mountains Typically it is warmer in the winter in Chapala, and cooler in the summer than it is in Guadalajara.

Just mist the clean window and press it on...or tape the edges. A simple curtain can be hung over it. I use magnets on the metal frame. Now you're snug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 If you live near the lake temperatures will be higher in the winter than farther inland. In the summer it will be cooler than farther inland. The water takes a while to change temperature. Today its 50 F in SE SAT at 8am according to my weather station.
