DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
DST Sunday 14 March, 7 a.m. Winds
are calm at this moment but swing SE to SW by the hour. No
matter, they are warm spring winds. It still felt like 6:00
when I took the statistics for this weather report. By now
8 a.m. DST (yesterday's 7:00) it is already
63 degrees and promises to warm up, a little more each day
for
this next
whole
week. Skies are already ablaze with sunshine, no clouds. But
there is still dust in the air from the BAJA 250 action Friday
and Saturday. Traffic was extremely heavy on the highway as
spectators travelled from check point to check point along
the route. This was a winning event for San Felipe's economy.
The weather was perfect. ST (yesterday's

Saturday
13 March, 7 a.m. Spring-like
weather continues. By the middle of next week we may be into
the 80's. The skies are clear, the water is calm and there
is absolutely no breeze at this moment. Yesterday the Malecon
was crowded with spectators to view the vehicles registering
for the Baja 250. Today the spectators will be crowded at
the various
checkpoints along the race-front. It is like the Gods have
smiled upon us with this terrific good weather. ST (yesterday's
Max 72F; Min 52F)
Friday 12 March, 7 a.m. Let's hope those cold
winds of yesterday, with whitecaps even, are behind us. It's
a gorgeous morning with temperatures warming up quickly. Great
for those who will be down on the Malecon viewing the entries
as they qualify for the Baja 250. It's a chance to actually
see the individual owners and their decorated vehicles & bikes
at close hand. With warming winds from the south and calm waters
optimism is the air. ST (yesterday's Max 69F; Min 51F) Dotty
we will miss you terribly. ST
Thursday
11 March, 7 a.m. Yesterday
afternoon the cold winds kicked up from the north discouraging
beach combing for most of us. This morning we still have
northern breezes keeping the temperatures in the low 60's.
Weather forecasts
are encouraging for the week-end. Starting today winds should
calm and it should be warmer for the Steak in the Park
event. It's
like
the weather-man chose to lighten up for this entire busy
week-end. There should be enough going on to satisfy all
the whims and
desires of all ages in the visiting families; those that
are not out at the Baja 250 check-points that is. Enjoy!

Wednesday
10 March, 7 a.m. They
say a significant warming trend will begin today.
With azure blue skies, brilliant in the spring sun and a
southern warming breeze for the most part, we can't help
but have the
best of spring weather for the week-end. This is the last
day for
chores
as the warmth is almost upon us. Many are here early to
attend the Steak in the Park event tomorrow. I wonder if
the town
is ready for the influx of tourists for the Baja 250 which
starts Friday. The weather calendar is co-operating fully.

Tuesday
9 March, 7 a.m. Clear,
sunny skies are the promise of another spring-like day. Earlier
we had a soft breeze but it is not cold. Now that breeze
has stilled, as if waiting for our decision
as to what to do today. We're looking forward to the Rotary's
Steak in the Park event on Thursday. The town is also readying
for the Baja 250 this week-end; all hotels and motels are
filling up early. The deserts are where the activity is
now. In town
the road crews sweeping the streets and repainting
the traffic lanes
for this event and for Easter
are
putting
us
to shame. ST

Monday
8 March, 7 a.m. ..Although
winds are calm now, earlier direction was from the SW. Already
we are in the 60's but will remain cool for another day at
least. With clear skies and a warming sun it should be a
beautiful spring day. With nothing major on the calendar
till the Rotary
Steak feed in the park on Thursday we can relax and catch
up on our home chores. ST

Sunday
7 March, 7 a.m. ...Around
4:00 I was awakened by winds and then the rain came. It did
not last long and left no trace on the rain-gauge...at this
campo. Although overcast it is not
cold, rather refreshing. The sun is just trying to come out
but we can expect another possibility of rain later in the
day and maybe tomorrow. However, as long as the wind is from
the south it is comfortably warming. Last evening the water
was really muddy colored as we walked along the beach. Hope
by now it is clear again. Today is the final day of the
Tequila
Festival. ST

Saturday
6 March, 7 a.m. This
will definitely be a busy week-end. What promised to be a
nice Saturday has changed. They say it will be much cooler
with
a chance of rain this evening. Imagine that! Well, we very
seldom see the rains. So grab your jacket and get down to
the Tony Reyes fishing tournament and then later to the
Tequila
Festival. This is all on the Malecon where you can watch
the clouds over the waters and forecast for yourself. If
that sun
comes out we will have no problem throughout the day. ST
(yesterday's Max 68F; Min 53F)
Friday 5 March, 7 a.m. We
are running late this morning. Got to warm up the house a little
as we are back in the 50's. Breezes from the north are
not the desired directions; it has certainly been eratically
changing directions for the past few hours. Hopefully the sun
will perform miracles when it gets up there for this is going
to be another busy week-end, starting today. Be sure to sign
in for the Tony Reyes fishing tournament Saturday. And then
there is the Tequila Festival. Have you seen the grunion runs
this
past week? The weather will be cooler but should be co-operating
nicely. ST (yesterday's Max 73F;
Min 50F) .
Thursday
4 March, 7 a.m. Look at that unreal view we captured
of the fogbank over the water 50 miles away across
mainland Mexico. Here at home we have a tiny breeze from
the north which creates a cooler feeling to our otherwise
normal morning. Clear skies, calm waters and a gorgeous
spring day. We're getting ready for Daylight Savings time
on March
14. This year California and Baja will be together again.
ST (yesterday's Max 72F; Min 53F) .
Tuesday 2 March, 7 a.m. With
a light cloud cover our morning skies continue to present unequalled
opportunity for photography. It seems we have a 15 degree span
between low and the high readings through Thursday. With 70
degree highs who could ask for more. Daylight Savings time
begins in the U.S. on March 14 in U.S. and in Baja this year.
With sunrise at 6:20 these days it is great to be up
and ready
with
the
camera. Skies with some clouds create beautiful images. Usually
the sun burns off some of these clouds allowing our high readings
to reach the 70's. The southern breezes, mostly calm, are also
warm. Enjoy; this may change again this busy week-end. ST (yesterday's
Max 69F; Min 55F)
Monday 1 March, 7 a.m. There is a promise of warming, dry weather through the middle of this week. It is a new month and March did come in like a lamb. After the squalling days around southern California and northern Baja through the end of February we can look forward to a quiet interlude to start March. Tonight is a very high tide. We saw the grunion appearing on the beach about 10 days ago but in daytime hours. There is a fantastic view of such a run at it's height on the front page. We have a full calendar of activities this week, with the most cooperative weather. Enjoy! ST (yesterday's Max 73F; Min 54F)
