Otro Pequeño ZIHsmo

I've noticed in a lot of your recent posts that there doesn't seem to be much rain in rainy season this year.

This site shows that at the airport there was no precipitation registered for June, July and the first half of August.

This site shows that the average rainfall for this period is over 15 inches.

Are things that dry and if so, what about water, or for that matter electricity? I'm not exactly sure how CFE works, but there is the big hydro dam in Infernillo with power lines heading to the coast. The lakes above the dam were pretty low earlier in the year when I went to Morelia.

Our local power comes from the Petacalco power plant that burns coal. A "gift" from the NAFTA deal. But the low rainfall will indeed affect our water supply at a time when local construction of mostly condos for what are affectionately known as the condo commandos is forging ahead at full steam. Let's hope September isn't a month when every rain is a torrential deluge, because that seems to be one of the more noticeable effects of human-induced climate change. We've been fortunate in Zihuatanejo so far this year not to have any torrential deluges, but other parts of Mexico haven't been so lucky. And of course Ernesto just flooded much of Puerto Rico, leaving about half the island without power. A real bummer for them.
