Dark clouds rolling in and thunder sounding off letting us know it is coming. Pici is as close to the door as he can get.....just waiting for me to open up and let him in.

Lola is huddling next to my feet under my desk. Now she's in my lap.

All that commotion outside and still not hardly a drop of rain.

Okay, now it's raining at least.

Here too, but it sure didn't last very long- 45 minutes from start to finish.

Still raining just a little here, but it does come and go in a rush.

"Still raining just a little here, but it does come and go in a rush."

That has been the pattern here for a long time now.
This whole supposed "rainy season" never seriously materialized---yet, anyways.
Just 15 or 20 minutes here and there, now and then.
Quite tame, I would say.

BUT....Still pending, is the rest of Septi-hambre and half of Octubre, that are considered to be in the "rainy season".
We'll see if any real serious rain storms affect Z, (hope they don't), as they have in other areas of territorio nacional, such as Tabasco, Cancun, etc., etc.

And, I still have my question out there for any arm chair meteorologist who participates in the board:

Why is it that Z most always escapes, and, seems to be exempt, from any real serious rain, that lasts for days and days in a row, with heavy downfalls??? :ponder:

Could it be local topography that keeps out the rain??

Don't forget your umbrella, good for both the rain, and sun :brilliant: protection.

Zihua escapes the worst of it because of the awesomeness of its people and the magic and beauty of the place.

I sure wish it would start raining here in the Bitterroot Valley. We've had the driest summer on record and the visibility, due to smoke from fires in Montana, Idaho and Washington, has, for about 3 weeks, been down to less than a mile. A good rainfall would go a long way to slow down the fires and clean the air.

It's now very chilly here NOB, (daytime highs only 18-20C) after weeks of mid-to-high 30's - feels more like mid-October. No appreciable rain for the past 4 months. Smoke from those Washington fires has abated the last couple of days.
As for Zihua, we've had rain in late October and into early November for the past few years, and it now seems to rain sometime during every month from November through April, when a decade ago it was bone-dry through that period. Wonder what this season's "El Nino Grande" has in store for the Zihua area?

It's comin' your way. Here on the BC coast we've had rain 5 days in a row, and a very welcome sight it was!
