InChapala1 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I mentioned to my gardener that May has been windier than any the past 4 yrs I’ve been here. He said strong winds in May indicates rainy season arrives sooner. Anyone else observed such a pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 No but I like the way he thinks. We can only hope. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Does windier May mean early rain. (?) Only the shadow knows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 We have strong westerlies which I would think would prevent the easterlies that carry most of the moisture for the rainy season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Historically, it is going to start raining in June no matter how windy it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InChapala1 Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 Well, so much for my gardener's "wisdom." But as Ferret said, we can only hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolphsj Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 And remember that every year we get 1-2 heavy rains the last 10 days of May that newbies wonder are “early rainy season”, followed by 10-14+ days of no rain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much confirmed if one looks at the chart above for May rainfall over the years. Average 1.33" but several years from 2-4 inches! We tend to forget that when guessing when the rainy season 'starts'. I assume these figures are in Rancho del Oro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
