Good Morning All,
Well there is really nothing remarkable going on here
in the Riviera Maya of Mexico, it is October normal with Rain, Rain, and more
Rain. Now we are not talking about daily rain all day or storms or anything
like that but we are talking about at least a couple hours of rain every day or
night heavy at times. I have had to drain water from the swimming pool at
least 3 times in 10 days. This past Friday, Saturday and Sunday were days of
heavy rains with occasional breaks of sun that was the tropical wave that came
across the Yucatan and exited into the Bay of Campeche
and became “Marco”.
We are watching a small wave off the Windward Islands
that is moving west at 10 MPH
but conditions are not favorable for development but the system is carrying
heavy rains and should move into the southern Caribbean
sometime over the weekend.
If you are coming to Cancun
or the Riviera Maya without a doubt you are going to do some outside activities
so please bring with you a non-chemical mosquito repellant for you and the kids.
Of course we sell it here as well but what we sell to spray on the body has
been outlawed in most countries because it is harmful to the health. I know
there are some that are creams that are basically citronella and all natural
which are the best to use for your health. YES, the mosquito’s right now
are severe and begin just as the sun is setting but if you go into the jungle
during the day to visit the mayan ruins or anything like that they will bother
you ALL DAY.
Current Conditions:
Sunny to Partly Cloudy
79°F 26°C
Winds None to Calm

Good Morning All.
Well a Rainy weekend but not much more than that.
There is a low pressure system located right off the
coast of the Yucatan Peninsula stretching from Guatamala to Northern Quintana
Roo which has been bringing us rain heavy at times since the overnight hours.
The system "Tropical Wave 33" is pretty
much on land and over the Caribbean and
dumping copious amounts of rain on the area. The National
Meteorology Center
in Mexico has issued Severe
Storm Warnings for the Coastal Areas from Chetumal to Cabo Catoche and inland
through most of the state of Yucatan and Campeche as well as Southern Veracruz and Tabasco. Veracruz and Tabasco is
a result of Tropical Wave 32 and Campeche
because of Strong Convection.
Torrential Rain, Dangerous Lightning as well as
flooding and mudslides can be expected in the areas where the warning has been
issued. Obviously Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and the
Riviera Maya will not have mudslides but flooding is always a problem here.
The System is not really expected to develop any
further but we are watching and should move out of the area sometime Sunday but
not before giving the area a good drenching.
Current Conditions:
Cloudy, Raining, Temperatures 77°F wind is light >5mph
and coming from the southeast.

Well all is calm again in Cancun
and the Riviera Maya, Sunny Sky, warm temperatures and little breeze right now.
Last night we had a nice wind blowing and today perfect weather so far. We
do see some scattered clouds around the area and off in the distance but noting
that indicates that we will have rain or wind.
The National Meteorological Office in Mexico is forecasting Torrential Rain in the
entire State of Quintana Roo
as a result of IKE and Upper Air Instability.
A Little bit of disturbed weather around Puerto Rico and of course the remnants of Josephine
trying to make a comeback; US Navy has it listed as INVEST91L.
I posted a photo on the Forums to share from Tuesday
Night at sunset.

Good Morning,
Just popping in here to bring you up to date on the
weather in Cancun and Mexicos
Caribbean Coast.
The outer bands of clouds from IKE are bringing in
mostly cloudy skies from around Tulum to all of the Northern part of Quintana
Roo to Cabo Catoche and the National Meteorological Center in Mexico has issued
navigational warnings for the area of northern Quintana Roo, the Yucatan Canal
and Gulf of Mexico as well as Severe Storm Warnings for Quintana Roo from Tulum
the Extreme north and east as well as the Eastern part of the State of Yucatan
as well as a storm watch for the State of Campeche.
That area of disturbed weather that we talked about
in our previous report and on our Forums that was near the Lesser Antilles and
I told you nobody was mentioning but that I wanted to watch it well it looks
for now like it is getting pulled into IKE’s backend and is affecting
Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and BVI’s (Sorry Dave) so most likely it
will not affect us here in Mexico.
Recap for Cancun and the Riviera Maya, today Rain
Heavy at times, elevated seas, tonight Rain heavy at times, and tomorrow Rain
heavy at times but moving away early (hopefully). Temperatures yesterday
reached 96°F
with a Heat Index of 116° humidity was 76%.
Very Warm Regards

Hola,
I thought I would pop in a give a little update on
the current conditions here in Cancun and the
Riviera Maya.
- Finally (thank GOD)
Hanna has begun to move and will have no impact on Mexico.
- Hurricane IKE a Cat.
4 (very dangerous) is on projected track and most likely will get close to
the Turks before turning to the north but most models seem to have him
turning north before arriving to the Islands.
- Tropical Storm
Josephine continues on her path in the Atlantic
with very little probability that she will affect the Mexican Caribbean
although we are watching anyway.
- There is an area of
disturbed weather which has formed about southwest of Josephine headed for
the Lesser Antilles. Upper-level winds
are not particularly favorable for development right now and any
organization of this system should be slow to occur as it moves westward
at about 15 mph.
- The Southern
Caribbean from the Lesser Antilles to Central America and up to southern
Quintana Roo as well as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are
receiving showers from the Convection that you see on the Caribbean Satellite.
Lots of moisture being pulled from all directions.
Current Conditions in Cancun and the Riviera Maya:
Partly Cloudy and warm J Temperatures reached 93°F today and current
Temperature at 5:45PM is 86°. Overnight we are looking at showers heavy at
times and Friday September 5th Chance of Rain, Temperatures 92° for
the high and 76 for a overnight low.
If anything evolves in the Caribbean
that could affect the Mexican Caribbean we will update you.
Regards.

Hello From the Riviera
Maya,
My name is Kevin and I am the Mexico Correspondent
and I wanted to stop by and say hello during this very active tropical event
week. I have been a weather follower since very young and have been active in
Civil Defense in the US
as well as a volunteer local EMT and a paid Paramedic (1971 to 1983). My
wife and I have been living in Cancun /
Riviera Maya for the last mmm 14 years and couldn’t leave those weather
tracking skills behind especially here. It began big time in Mexico
with “Mitch”, tracking that hurricane was incredible for those who
will never forget it and of course after that ever storm or hurricane that
formed.
Since we operate websites related to tourism and
since 2000 our sites always featured a news sections adding weather and hurricanes
and rebuilding for us was a natural. We are a small web development
company dedicated to design, programming and promotion of tourism as well as
businesses in general. We are 4 partners and 6 employees ranging from
public relations to graphic design and programming mostly Mexican but I am from
the US originally and one of
our new partners Christian Jarry is from France. Chris’s Wife is
a Mexican Artist whose paintings and Grabados have been exhibited around the
world including France, Canada,
US, and Mexico.
2 of our websites have Forums and Photo Galleries where we update photos of the
area and information of interest like news and events, openings or closings of
activities, hotels, businesses etc. and during Tropical Cyclone season our
forum is converted into Information Central with live video and photos and up
to the minute information on what is happening. During Wilma the embassy’s
in Mexico City
for all of the English speaking countries were giving our website out as the
place for live and real information up to the minute. We had live photos
of Wilma during the peak of the hurricane in Downtown Cancun as well as the
Hotel Zone and we were able to get help to needy people in the shelters and
emergency aid via satellite phone from Televisas (Mexico TV Station) Studio in Mexico City to the
reporters on the ground. We had one of our girls on the road and in the
command center with our friend Hector Aguilar from TV Azteca and so we were the
only website with live on the ground information and coverage of Wilma. Our
information was received by CNN as well as MSNBC and we were featured on news
programs in the US.
We had 8 million hits per day average during the peak of Wilma.
Anyway, that is who we are and we look forward to
serving you and being a part of your information circle for the area.
Current Conditions in Cancun / Riviera Maya:
Sunny with scattered clouds, warm 79°F 26°C and we of course are watching closely the
4 current systems in the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean.
In particular we are watching the NEW 90L around 17° for development
and a cocked eye on Hanna who has been just meandering around and has been
until now an underachiever.
Regards
Kevin

friends from the caribbean and beyond!
hi y'all! i wish i could send a report at least once a day, but right now i'm looking for a job, and with the HEAT we've been experiencing this week, the only thing i think about when i get home is to take a shower, grab a book (currently orwell's 1984) and enjoy a refreshing kalimocho.
i'm exagerating a bit. last week's rains are well gone by now, and one of two thing is happening: either i'm getting used to this weather, or the storms left behind some really strong, cool winds. i was chatting with mi sister last night, and had to close the window cuz the wind was so cool and strong!
so, visitors and tourists, relax!! wather is just great. lots of sun, lots of fresh winds, and a bit of clouds late in the evening (we still have very few, light, and sporadic showers). just please keep in mind that the CNA's forecast warns about strong winds (>45km/h or >28mph) and a good chance of precipitation (>20mm, or >0.79in) for this weekend throughout the peninsula.
last week's rains were just that. roads going south to the riviera maya and east to chichEn-itzA and mErida are just fine to drive along. heather, expect a 20USD toll when going to chichEn-itzA, each way. and, on sundays, entrance to the site is free!
i wish i could say the same for the rest of SEern mExico. neighbor states of chiapas, tabasco and veracruz are having a really hard time, even though alma and arthur were the slightests storms! a federal disaster fund is already available for those governorships. it's sad, but we seem not to learn from our recent disaster experiences. my roomies and i wen't to sam's and bought lots of canned food, instant coffee (of course!) and cigarrettes (why not!?). we also have four 20lt water bottles. maybe we sound paranoic, but this is our very first season over here. anyway, locals just stared at us like we were crazy or dumb, and a guy even asked, when leaving sam's, if there was a hurricane coming or what. i told him i didn't knew, but it won't get me unprepared!
so, for today, that's my contribution. thank you, max and heather, for your emails. i promise i'll try to come back more often.
césar.

- Brand new report from Cancun, Mexico!!

Hi folks. My name is Cesar, and I am very proud to be a Hurricane Correspondant for this beautiful part of my country.
I've been living over here for the last 6 months, and this is the first time I live so close to the coast, so I'm still getting used to hurricane terminology, and am still waiting to experience my very first one!
So, a few days after this season began, here's my first report :)
It had been REALLY hot and humid until Alma came last week. That storm brought lots of long-waited rain, and right after it was ending, Arthur began. We had really good days of overcast skies and showers all day long. The Sun came and went along the day, but it was CONSIDERABLY cooler than before. Rains stopped on Monday, leaving a fresher atmosphere and still an overcast sky. This morning a glorious Sun came up, and a few friends of mine went to the beach, did some skimboarding and great sealife-wacthing (Does that term exist? Birdwatch does, so...). I regret not going with them. Instead, I rented Hairspray XD A little after 2pm, the sky got overcast again and the rest of the evening was cool and fresh and just great.
I talk about overcast sky being great because I lived the last ten years in Oaxaca City, and still miss that cool, mountainy (?) weather :P
So, friends from the Caribbean Islands and beyond, this is me and my first contribution to the GREAT job you've been carrying along.
See ya'll soon!
