Tuesday morning wasn't quite as warm as Monday, and the rest of the day wasn't quite as hot, only getting up to 36°C. Still a bit warm and several degrees above average for this time of the year even with La Canícula.

Rain clouds were visible on the southern and western horizons this morning, and this evening a huge storm that looked like it was heading our way in the afternoon dissipated, leaving us with nothing but high humidity and no discernible breeze. Most people appeared uncomfortably warm along the waterfront this evening. The ocean water temperature continues above 31°C. If the predicted rains start happening, it should keep our temperatures mild. We usually just need a good couple of days of rains to change from La Canícula to our normal weather pattern for late summer. Hopefully soon.

You'd never know that Ixtapa's hotels registered over 75% occupancy or Zihuatanejo's over 62% this Tuesday. Hardly any tourists to be seen around town. Only one restaurant along the waterfront was doing any business this evening. Sales were extremely slow for downtown merchants who bothered to open. But hey, that new amphitheater at the pier entrance sure ought to draw us some more tourism, just like the mayor promises. ;-)

Still no lights at the pier after sunset. The insult to daily users of the pier continues by the municipal government.

The surf continues to look good. The current mar de fondo event is keeping the waves around a meter and a half or so. Swimmers need to watch out for strong currents near shore.

Located right on Troncones Beach within easy walking distance of the village as well as several convenience stores and numerous restaurants. It can easily accommodate up to 8 people comfortably.
