amazondk Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'm spending the holidays in Escazú (San Jose) where it is considerably cooler than it was over on the coast in Manuel Antonio. The lower humidity here really makes a difference in how it feels. Here's the Escazú forecast through the 31st. Thurs High 25C/77F Low 19C/66F Friday High 24C/75F Low 16C/61F Sat High 25C/77F Low 15C/59F Sun High 25C/77F Low 16C/61F Mon High 25C/77F Low 17C/63F Tues High 24C/75F Low 16C/61F Wed High 24C/75F Low 15C/59F Compared to the forecast for Manuel Antonio Thurs High 31C/88F Low 21C/70F Friday High 31C/88F Low 21C/70F Sat High 31C/88F Low 21C/70F Sun High 30C/86F Low 22C/72F Mon High 30C/86F Low 21C/70F Tues High 29C/84F Low 21C/70F Wed High 31C/88F Low 22C/72F That is really true Jeff. We spent 4 days in Escazu after our documents were stolen on the way back to San Jose before we could get a flight home to Manaus. In spite of the reason for the stay we did enjoy the place we were at. The nights were cool and you didn´t need any AC at all. And, it is a really nice area. And, Manuel Antonio was great as well. I should have my photos organized to post some pictures of the trip this weekend. It has been raining a lot here. But, the afternoon it cleared up and down at one of the ports on the river it was a beautiful afternoon. The temperature was around 90 F I believe. The owner of this port called Super Terminais and he has coconuts planted all over the place. He brought them up from Bahia via his trucking company as large palms already.

SubTropicRay Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Very true Scott but what fun would that be? I received .75 inches of rain yesterday. With that and all this warmth, what's a glooming forecast dude to do?!

Tyrone Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 This is how December is shaping up here, taken from the eldersweather.com site. "Perth has been abnormally cold recently, with 16 days in December being more than 2 degrees below average (only 4 have been more than 2 above average), and now it's about to get abnormally hot. This month has so far seen a repeat of November, with a predominance of cool southerly winds keeping the hot interior air at Bay. That's about the change however. A stationary synoptic pattern is developing which will see very hot easterlies funneled over the west between a high to south and a broad low pressure area near Tropical Cyclone Billy to the north. Temperatures will climb into the high thirties (more than 10 degrees above average) by later in the week. They could reach the forties next week as models indicate a likely persistence of the hot easterlies. Though the average maximum for Perth so far this month has been just under 27 degrees (2 below average), the forecast hot spell at the end of the month will give it a late boost. Counter-intuitively though, the month is still likely to end up as the coolest in terms of daytime temperatures since 2005." I'm going to make sure my sprinklers are working at 110%.

Hi Don, yes it is much cooler and it's a nice change from the heat and humidity of the coast. I look forward to seeing your photos. I have a few that I took of you, Raquel and Kai on the beach and in the pool. I enjoyed your visit but it's a shame what happened on the way back to San Jose. Did you get your documents replaced?

Exotic Life Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ouch! Recorded -4.2C/24.4F last night! Who can blow some warmer air to over here, because the forecast is not very good for the next couple day's/nights... i think this will be the coldest wave since winter 2004/2005.

amazondk Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Jeff, Interstingly enough Dan the lawyer sent me a note and someone found the bag we had the documents in with at least some of the stuff. At any rate we got things pretty much replaced. dk Don Kittelson LIFE ON THE RIO NEGRO 03° 06' 07'' South 60° 01' 30'' West Altitude 92 Meters / 308 feet above sea level 1,500 kms / 932 miles to the mouth of the Amazon River Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - A Cidade da Floresta Where the world´s largest Tropical Rainforest embraces the Greatest Rivers in the World. .

Daryl Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Still hot and humid here. Afternoon thunderstorms every day...very tropical! Got pounded with 94mm of rain in 2 hours yesterday. Here's some photos... Storm Photos Daryl Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S. Mild, Humid Subtropical climate. Rainfall - not consistent enough!

Tyrone Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Many many awesome lightening photo opportunities over your way at the moment Daryl. Would love some of that action over here. No real thunderstorm activity is likely for a while here, just hot and blue skies. We got a solid 36C yesterday, and after a 21C night it's 38C today. Hopefully we'll get some convection forming over the west coast to at least produce a bit of cloud, and then maybe, just maybe, some thunderstorms. But I'm not counting on it.

_Keith Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 We are back to an Indian Summer here in So. Louisiana. If only it could stay this way for the rest of the winter.

Daryl Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Real hot here today too Tyrone. Currently in the garden it is 34.8C and 66% humidity, without any breeze. The UV forecast for today was 16 and it feels like it too...that sun is burning brightly! The forecast is for 'just an afternoon shower or thunderstorm' so we'll see what we get later.

Daryl Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Yet another thunderstorm today, but not as big as the last two day's storms. The one last night produced 18000 lightning strikes...is that enough for you Tyrone? All of this rain and hot humid weather is great for the garden though. I took this photo of the remains of today's storm after it blew through this evening... Daryl Gold Coast, Queensland Latitude 28S. Mild, Humid Subtropical climate. Rainfall - not consistent enough!

Tyrone Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 It got to 39C today. Clouds brewed but no rain. 37C tomorrow, then 39C Thursday, 35C Friday, cooling to 30C for the weekend, then low thirties after that.

Tyrone Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 It didn't get as hot as predicted yesterday, but it still reached 35C. Going for 39C today but I think we'll go past 40C. It's a howling easterly out there now. I sure wish I had some of Daryl's humidity from QLD. 36C and 23C dewpoints must feel really sticky, but great for the palms. That's real tropicality.
