Hello, I live in the Hotel Zone of Cancun. Sunday was the worst day of the event, with strong wind, some heavy rain and high waves. There wasn't any flooding. And very few people or businesses even bothered to tape their windows. In my opinion, no tourist should change their plans of visiting the incredible location. Everything here is now back to normal. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. |
| - Hurricane Keith Update |
|
Hello All, Just to let everyone know: There has been no hurricane in Cancun and vicinity. Television reports from Chetumal, on the border with Belize, has shown a swollen Rio Hondo, a small catamaran overturned, a slightly grounded shrimp boat, the lens of the lighthouse at Xcalak broken and portions of a road washed-out resulting in the isolation of three villages in southern Quintana Roo and six in Campeche. Mudslides have reportedly caused a few deaths elsewhere. Yesterday was mostly sunny as is today here in Cancun where there were no more rain or winds than the intermittent showers and slight breezes usual in the month of November. From Monday to Wednesday, it rained here about four times for about ten minutes per shower. If persons are looking for dire circumstances, they fortunately won't find any here.

Just returned back to the states after spending a little over 3 weeks in Playa del Carmen. There was very little damage in the Cancun, Playa area. The storm was far south and caused Belize the most trouble with flooding. Both Playa and Cancun are totally back to normal. |

Looks like Keith is fizzling out. Many people are asking what it is like in Cancun. As of Mon afternoon: Sun is out, cloud cover about 40%. Temp is around 75F or 25C. Winds SE at 8kmp (5mph). Generally a really nice day. Streets are dry and it's business as usual. There is zero damage as winds and rain never amounted to much over the last few days. Might of greened up the parks a bit! Keeping an eye on Keith is still advised as these critters can be tricky. I like to watch www.hurricanes99.com and the local Mexican TV of course. If Keith sneaks up the Yucatan while onshore we might get a day or 2 of wet weather. You'll have to sip Margaritas inside rather than at the pool!!

Bands of heavy rain (15 mins duration) are coming through Cancun this evening but streets are easily passable. Wind around 10-15kph (6-10mph) from the East. Over the last 2 days residents have gassed up their cars and bought extra food. Store shelves are still full but shoppers are out a bit heavy thanks also to the Mexican payday on 30 Sept. I noticed 30 mins ago that restaurants are filled and it is business as usual. When Mitch threatened last year many residents boarded up windows but none have done so this time. If Keith were to hit Cancun we would not be as prepared as Mitch. Scott Wilson Cancun ===== Get paid while surfing the Web!

Occasional, but heavy, rainfall started just before sundown yesterday here in Cancun. There are no winds at least in town. News reports here, again in Cancun, of what is happening in Chetumal show even more rain, but not enough of a storm, though rated Hurricane, to keep Chetumal's television transmissions from being broadcast. Their broadcasts show the residents having took all precautions, including having sought shelter, but nothing of a damaging nature. The storm's eye seems to be hovering just south of Chetumal toward Belize City, and is being projected to cross the Yucatan Peninsula well south of Cancun.

Hello Gert, After several days of semi-cloudy weather, yesterday the sky became heavily overcast with billowing cumulus nimbus darkening considerably southward. Yesterday the news here was of a tropical pressure system developing toward Chetumal, while today the news here is that a mild hurricane condition has developed and is traveling towards us (Cancun). Folks are storing fresh water and some food, but it does not appear to be, at least yet, a threat. Personally, it seems to me that a developing storm that is straddling land, as this one is, instead of out to sea, can't become a powerhouse. But who knows? The weather seems to be evermore freaky nowadays.
Later,
