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 Wed May 14 11:50:00 2008 Mazatlan time (which is the same as US Mountain time), and here is what it was like. The outside temperature was 84° Fahrenheit, (28.9° Celsius) , which I would characterize as pretty warm, just right for a day at the beach. The humidity was 76.5, which is normal for Mazatlan, quite comfortable, and the wind speed was 0.0 mph, which is very still, no wind at all, great for tennis!. Over the last minute, the average wind speed has been 0.0 mph. As for the rain, we've had 0.00 inches of rain so far today, and in the last 15 minutes, we've had 0 inches of rain, in other words it's not raining. So far, today's low temperature was 73.9° Fahrenheit, (23.3° Celsius) which occurred at 5:22 and today's high was 84.3° Fahrenheit, (29.1° Celsius) which occurred at 11:06 For those who care, the barometer right now is at 26.05 and the dew point is 76. Just in case you're wondering, Henry's office is currently at 83.4° Fahrenheit, (28.6° Celsius) .

 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.
