Climate in Mazatlan

Please help the animals of Mazatlan

So what is the weather like right now in Mazatlan, you ask. Well thanks to my new Peet Brothers weather station, I can tell you. The last measurement was taken on Sat Aug 7 09:20:00 2010 Mazatlan time (which is the same as US Mountain time), and here is what it was like. The outside temperature was 80.7° Fahrenheit, (27.1° Celsius) , which I would characterize as pretty warm, just right for a day at the beach. The humidity was 98.3, - it is quite humid, thank goodness it isn't that hot outside, and the wind speed was 3.3 mph, which feels great if it is hot out, otherwise just pleasant. Over the last minute, the average wind speed has been 9.1 mph. As for the rain, we've had 0.10 inches of rain so far today, and in the last 15 minutes, we've had 0.0598042940666667 inches of rain, in other words it's really raining, maybe not buckets, but small pitchers. So far, today's low temperature was 80.6° Fahrenheit, (27.0° Celsius) which occurred at 8:16 and today's high was 84.8° Fahrenheit, (29.3° Celsius) which occurred at 0:01 and the dew point is 80.2. Please ignore the pressure readings in the graphs below. It just doesn't work and I don't feel like trying to get it fixed. Sorry. Here is how the weather has changed over the last 24 hours:

Our Beautiful Weather Month C F Rain in Inches Month C F Rain in Inches Jan 20.8 69.1 0.7 July 28.2 82.8 8.3 Feb 20.1 68.2 0.2 August 28.3 83.1 7.2 Mar 20.6 69.1 0.3 Sept 28.2 82.8 5.6 Apr 22.2 72.1 0.1 Oct 27.5 82.1 3.4 May 24.2 76.5 0 Nov 22.2 72.0 0.3 June 27.5 82.5 1.2 Dec 21.7 71.1 0.4

The following monthly temperatures are averages. Clearly, it will be warmer during the day, and cooler at night. From my experience, the weather is very pleasant from November until May. Sometime in June, and definitely from July until September, it is quite hot and humid. January through March are the coolest months, with typical daytime temperatures in the high 70's to low 80's and evening temperatures in the low 60's. A great time to play golf or tennis. How do locals cope with the summer months? Simple, the Mexicans have a great invention called the Siesta. You get up very early, around 6am, and do whatever you want to do outside that is strenuous, such as playing tennis or exercising. You have lunch from 12 until 2 and then take a nice long nap from 2 to 4. After that, you start what amounts to another day, and go on with your business until 8 or 10 in the evening. All in all, it is a great way of life.
