Supposedly, weather wise, the Niño is changing / has changed to the Niña.

Lots of reports as to the weather changes, over the short term. But, not read much for the Pacific coast. Only the Atlantic side.

Any ideas?

When La Niña forms in the Pacific, and we're apparently right on the verge of its formation, it usually means less rain for the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Last year wasn't a good year for us rain-wise, so even less rain this year could be catastrophic. However, increased activity in the Atlantic can often spill over onto our part of the Pacific, and the Atlantic is super-warm this year. Forecasters have predicted this could result in us being hit early in the hurricane season by a double storm as happened to us in September 2017 when two hurricanes merged and we had a period of torrential monsoon rains that lasted about a week and washed out bridges and caused landslides that cut off much of the coast and the sierra from the rest of the world. Some places still haven't fully recovered. Such a storm is of great concern, especially because we've imitated all the mistakes of Acapulco by allowing our fragile hillsides to become populated by dwellings that simply shouldn't be there, with the accompanying deforestation. Just recently someone clear-cut about a half hectare on the hillside right above La Gatas Beach that could become a disaster for everyone below including the marine life from all the muddy runoff.

Qué es el fenómeno de La Niña y cómo podría afectar el clima
