 On Jan 4th, Isla Mujeres continues to report a total of 242 cases of C-19 with 21 deaths and 199 recovered. (The "midday" report...as of 1300/1p, is published in the evening, lately.)

 

 Today's official forecast says Cold Front #24 is stationery over the Peninsula (that's what the red dots mean) where its interaction with the tropical maritime air is expected to generate intermittent rains, a slight drop in temperatures ("hot to cool temperatures during the day"), SE to E winds at 10-20 kph, with stronger gusts in rainy areas. (On the extended forecast, the circles forecast rain & purple squiggles mean wind and frio is cold.) It's overcast at sunrise.   Update...the intermittent rain didn't arrive until late afternoon.

 

 

Note that these are the officially reported cases and a local doctor reports that there are many cases not included in these statistics. The numbers in the second graph show how the total cases grew to reach 237--by its nature it cannot decrease, and the relevance is when the movement is more horizontal vs sharply vertical.

In October, there was a change of reporting methodology when the state began including patients without a positive test who have symptoms & contact with a patient with a positive test. (That was part of a national change to unify reporting methods.)

Wearing face masks correctly helps reduce the spread of Covid-19, wear it properly and take care of your health.
