Huatulco Weekly Weather Report
Below you´ll find our Weekly Huatulco Weather Report. This is an amateur effort to give people an idea of what the weather is like here. It is of my personal perception of the weather and diving conditions over the last week and it is certainly not a prediction!

Weather Report # 191. Period: 12 January - 20 April 2009
Weather
Daytime highs: 30°C / 35°C (86°F / 95°F)
Minimum temperature: 24°C / 27°C (75°F / 81°F)
It was mostly sunny with a couple of cloudy days. It did not rain, as expected this time fo the year, but we had a few days with quite a breeze in the afternoon. The humidity increased steadily during this period.
Diving Conditions
Ocean: Generally calm. We did have a few days with rougher seas and the port was closed twice in the last two months.
Temperature: 22°C / 27°C (77°F / 79°F). As usual this time of the year we a thermocline now and then.
Visibility: Anywhere between less than 5m (15ft) to 15m+ (50ft). On average it was around 10m (30ft), not very good for the time of the year.
Over the last two months we saw Humpback Whales, dolphins, Orca's, Giant Manta Rays, etc. The whales have gone back North by now.
The last few days we have had a "red tide" all around the coastline. Obviously not very good for diving and/or snorkeling. It's clearing up again now.
Hurricane Season
The East Pacific hurricane season officially starts the end of May.
