adolphsj Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Electric out on and off all day in extreme SE Ajijic centro near La Bodega and Wednesday market bottom. Anyplace else, just curious. Multiple calls, fairly rapid response with truck but continues on and off x 12 hrs. Easter visitors usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkrause Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Just a guess that there's extra heavy drain on the system today with so many people in town. Been the same since late afternoon in West Ajijic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexicoafterlife Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 Del oro west has been on and off today too. We'll guess it's time to pull the trigger for the ups for our router, tv, and comp we use to stream usa tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only very recently starting to get hot here in the PV area during the day, it isn't humid at all, and it's currently about 62 degrees farenheit at my place. Hot and steamy lasts about 4 months, max, and in the rainy season, lots of nights are cool and if it's rained all night, the mornings are sometimes cool enough to put on long pants and a long sleeved shirt. Not denying it doesn't get hot and humid here, but it isn't some half a year of misery as you falsely claim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to tell friend that from roughly mid-Nov to mid-May PV had the best weather we had ever lived in, including Lakeside. Between times was hot and humid. October was worst with usually cloudy, humid and no breeze weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick and Sarah's was really a free for all. I cut my forum teeth there. Brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found October in Santiago (outside of Manzanillo) to definitely be too hot and humid. That was a bit of a surprise. The condo we rent at the beach is directly on the ocean south of Barra de Navidad. It is definitely cooler than where we rented on a bay in La Manzanilla or Santiago. I am guessing maybe because the sea breeze is more direct and cooler. Also PV has gotten so big and built up probably a bit of the urban heat island effect there. It was plenty cool at the condo this Semana Santa and the ocean was downright cold. Last couple of days a lot of fog. We've been going there for this week for sometime and this is the first time we encountered such cool conditions, let alone fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 When the winds change to predominantly from the east HERE, the same thing happens on the coast. That makes the onshore breeze an offshore breeze and the cooling effect of the ocean disappears. Yeah, mid June to mid October (give or take a couple of weeks) is awful on the coast. I do not like heat but throw in humidity and I hate it. Mudgirl is an exception. Lived full time in San Pancho for six years. Never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteforron Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I lost my lot in Barra de Navidad in my divorce and fine with me. Here in San Carlos 4 months of HOT and humid but, I am from Florida and tolerated it well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found June and October in the PV area to be the most uncomfortable- just before and after the rainy season kicks in, when it's just relentlessly hot and humid. Once the rain starts, it cools things down, which the foreigners who high-tail it out of here at the end of April and return in late October don't realize- they assume it was even steamier in the intervening months, which isn't true.

It is steamier in the intervening months. The rain provides the extra humidity. If it works for you then fine. But it's HOT and it's STICKY and UNCOMFORTABLE for many people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
