What date will it rain?

What date will the rainy season begin, plus or minus 3 days? Not an occasional storm like a couple nights ago.

My guess is June 12???

June 10

Looking a lot like it might be today. I have an early warning system, a British husband who has extensive experience in rain forecasting. Plus, one of the rainbirds took up residence in our house after the short but impressive rain and hail storm on friday night. Little beggar refused to leave and had to be taken out in a paper towel to join his friends.

Oh yes, D.H. also predicts, FWIW, a long and very heavy rainy season.

June 14 at 4:00 p.m.

My best friend says June 9 but I’m for June 12 around midnight. O.K. John it’s time to get more specific. Determining factor is ½ inch recorded at that station by Steve B. whatever.

LOL! E-raq, a British husband doesn't have to "forecast" rain...it just rains every bloomin' day there. My mum's favourite weather forecast in Britain..."there's a slight depression over the Hebrides".
Just funnin' ya!
June 7th at 6 p.m.

I'm betting on June 13th.

I say the 9th. It's almost always the 2nd week of June.

I personally hope you and my best friend are correct, I need cool, fresh air more than an ego boost.

Our gardener, who's lakeside roots predate the Toltec, says the first big rain will start on June 14th at 7:57 p.m. in Ajijic and a few minutes later in Chapala.

Interesting....the rains usually go from east to west...but my roots don't predate the Toltec .

Actually Ricardo's family living lakeside predates the Olmec but he doesn't like to brag and this year the first big rain will come from the north-north west at 41 kph.

Ask your gardener for a couple hits of what he's smoking and you too will think like he does. I'd say his brain was fried from too many drugs after giving an answer like that. LOL

Tsk tsk John, now I don't question the validity of your resources and before you suggest Ricardo's been smoking Chapala-lala you might want to wait for the rain. Besides, he can beat up your gardener any day.

Well so far Britain strikes out.

All that's left is to take my car to the expensive car wash, and rain is assured.

I'll let y'all know.

The one near you on the carretera.

$ 5.70 US is an expensive car wash! And you pay $ 12 - $ 15 in the States! But you pay your maid $ 50 pesos an hour who has no overhead, no utility bills, no taxes, no water bills, no insurance?? Nice comparison.

If you think the $ 80 pesos is expensive for your car wash you should be paying your maid $ 30 pesos an hour.

1. I am NOT American, and do not get car washes in the States.
2. What I pay, or do not pay for goods and services is my business and mine alone.
3. When I'd like an opinion I'll be asking for it.

Thank you.

When you post your opinion on any forum, you are subject to a wide range of other peoples opinions.

Does not matter whether you're an American, you missed the point that $ 80 pesos is dirt cheap for a car wash. What do car washes cost where you come from? More or less than the US?

ANY amount paid for a car wash is expensive when compared to free (as in rained upon). I think THAT was the point.

Nothing happens until Catusa makes an offering to Tlaloc.

Nothing happens until a cat in the USA makes an offering to a three letter anagram for the Library of Congress?

When you go on a public forum and tell everyone you are taking your car to an expensive car wash, aren't you kind of making it everybody's business and indirectly, if not overtly, asking for other opinions.
I have never understood why people who go public with any event in their lives on these forums wonder why they get responses.
In answer to your item #3...I would say you did.

No dear, I am simply making a statement that when I get my car washed, regardless of price, it always rains, and I could have got it for free, as previously and eloquently explained by Axixic.
I never ask for opinions unless I know the person really well and also know that they are an expert in the subject.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing.
