From Por Esto :
Weather caused decreased tourism
Clima impide el arribo masivo de turistas
The weather was cloudy most of Monday, with intermittent rain around midday, and toursm was decreased as a result. The forecast predicted rain for Monday evening and Tuesday, with a low pressure system affecting the peninsula. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea west of the Lesser Antilles is causing rainfall in that region, but conditions aren't favorable for it to evolve into a tropical system.There were no restrictions to navigation on Monday, with winds from the southeast at 15-25 km/hr and occasional gusts.

Isla Mujeres is prepared for rain
Isla Mujeres preparada para las lluvias
The water levels in the Salina lakes remain around the "zero" mark, with recent rains causing no problems. The levels barely rose a few centimeter and were very low before that. The pumps that lower their levels when necessary have been maintained and are ready for use, as is the electrical generator that is available in case there is an interruption in power. The three kilometers of the rainwater network in the colonias and downtown has been cleaned and is in good condition. Residents are reminded not to litter since this clogs the storm drains. The seven hurricane shelters on the island are in good condition.Planting in street median for World Habitat Day
Siembran plantas en el día del hábitat
World Habitat Day was commemorated with the planting of dozens of native plants in the median of Los Peces Avenue. Transplanting is more effective in this rainy season, and individuals are encouraged to plant their yards.This event began early with a group of volunteers and employees from companies, who placed 90 plants in holes. Participants work with various municipal agencies such as the Tortugranja and with private companies including Dolphin Discovery, Aguakan, Garrafón Park, Hotel Izla and Club Albatros,
It is noted that during 2019, more than 600 plants were planted, as part of the strategies of the current administration, according to the municipal Director of Ecology, who supervised the event.
