The Annual Guess Start of The Rainy Season


Recommended Posts

And I got dumped on in Riberas. Little micro climates all around the lake.

It looks like Agatha will re form in the Gulf of Mexico and bring rain to southern Florida. Last year the same thing happened with a hurricane from the opposite direction. Started in the Atlantic and jumped to the Pacific. That was an anomaly but suggests that it may soon become the norm. These hurricanes are getting to be very powerful...

Looking at the satellite view this afternoon we do seem to have a weak pattern like the normal rainy season one.  However the polar jet is still pretty far south and a wave in building which will probably interrupt the flow of moisture for a few days.

We got about an inch of rain at my place in SE Ajijic.  Nice!

Knowing that Weather Underground is often wrong, they called the storm last night and from a 20% chance of rain predicted this morning, they now post this:

and this

We moved to Ajijic in 2004 when cows and horses were grazing on dry land a quarter mile from shore. Either that year or the next the first rain came on May 31 which began the lake's recovery and ultimately the overflow and flood which resulted in the new malecon.

Guad news on channel 4 TV plus Informador news on line both have stated "this is an anomaly"   yes, there will be intermittent rain for a few days   but the actual rainy season is not expected to begin (albeit earlier than some years) before about June 15 - 20

As I've chosen the 17th, I couldn’t agree more!

I hope the rains hurry since it is now HOT AND HUMID and Ihave a long walk up the goat path to gete to my abode and it is bad enough in the heat but add HUMDITY?   Even the goats are panting, the roosters stop crowing.and the dogs just lay there as I walk by.   .  Plus, where are the taxis when you need one?

How quickly the complaining begins.

 I was here in January and loved it - and yes I knew May was the hottest month and came anyway - Given that the topic was when the rainy season would begin, I just posted what I thought was a humerous wish that it would start soon - maybe it is too early in the a.m. for a bit of humor - I have survived a whole raft of climates - am sure I will this one as well.

Well, yes, as a hobby for 60 years.  Started out getting the detailed U.S. maps in the mail long before there was the internet.

Your hobby was, let me guess, snark artist?  :D 

Tropical storm in the gulf has temporarily interrupted the Monsoon Trough and dried things up a bit plus the upper winds are still pretty strong westerly.

After living in se Texas and Alabama the hot season here is a vacation. Never lived in a place with the wonderful year around weather this place has. It's heaven 

And I lived in TX, the east, the midwest and finally New Mexico.  The climate here is so much better than any of these there simply is no comparison.

Big storm and floods in Guadalajara last night.  You could see the tops of the clouds boiling up over the mountains.

Trees down and some damage.

Glad we missed that one.

Lol well we have to drive into guadalajara this morning for a medical appointment. Wish me luck.

Another nice rain but the clear pattern of the rainy season has not established itself.  The monsoon trough has retreated southward and we are now on the west side of the dry line/extended trough.  That tends to move eastward from the morning into the afternoon and retreat westward in the evening.

Probably a few drier days coming up until the monsoon trough shifts northward again and the tropical waves along it come close enough to bring more rain.

See surface map attached.
