Lake Chapala's rainy season has begun

by Kristina Morgan

Oh, it just doesn't get any better than this! Finally, finally--the rainy season is here! This is my favorite time of year. Those of you who are tired of rainy weather in places like Seattle need not fear. This is not like Seattle. The rains here are similar to Hawaii's weather...fierce thunderstorms that pound down and then are gone...leaving blue skies and sunshine afterward and very clean and green.

To the left is a picture my friend, Dila Suriel, shot with the rainy season of the village of Ajijic in all its glory.

Typically, it only rains during the night here like Camelot. Pretty idyllic!   It does sometimes rain during the day but when that happens it is infrequent enought that people will talk about it.

This is my favorite time of year and I am so glad its finally here...the temps dropped by 10 degrees down to 78 and dipping even cooler for the best sleeping conditions. I love living in paradise!

This is a video that was taken of the night the rainy season in Ajijic started. This should read June 12th 2010 instead of July. Have a look:
