Tropical Storm Gonzalo is expected to dissipate Sunday night or Monday, due to an "impeding thermodynamic environment", and its path toward the coast of Venezuela.
That's a Tropical Wave producing an area of disorganized showers & thunderstorms that is expected to move westward at 15 mph for the next several days & could become a Tropical Depression by early next week in the western tropical Atlantic with a 60% chance of formation through 5 days, according to the NHC.
Neither currently poses a threat to the coasts of Quintana Roo.
The Mayor says: "We join the state program Liaisons of Social Participation-Yellow Caps, in which 62 volunteers from Isla Mujeres are distributed in various locations with the task of raising awareness among the populace about the importance of continuing to carry out preventive measures against Covid-19 and thus reactivate the municipality in a safe & orderly manner."
The City announcement notes the 62 volunteers, aged 18 to 35, will be located at 11 strategic points to kindly provide information and raise awareness among visitors & inhabitants. Isla Mujeres is the fourth municipality to join this state program aimed at strengthening the dissemination of the health measures recommended by experts. The volunteers will promote healthy distance in areas of highest social concentrations which are considered to be high contagion zones; they will share truthful, official information; they will invited the citizenry to wear face masks properly & provide one if they need one; as well as giving them antibacterial gel. The program coordinator for the Northern Zone spoke about the importance of the government and society working together as a team with united efforts to provide information about taking care of each other, to move forward during this global pandemic.
VIDEO with caption of the Chief of Police, Jaime Ongay Ortiz, saying that municipal police, in coordination with the National Guard, responded to a 911 complaint about suspicious people in an abandoned building near Punta Sur, on the road to Garrafon. This operation resulted in the arrest of W.P.G., 26, and H.A.G.,25, with various doses of white powder and baggies of plant material. They will be turned over to the Prosecutor's Office for the crime of narco-retail.
Frequently washing your hands for at least 30 seconds helps reduce the contagion of Covid-19, take care of your health and follow recommendations.
The caption says...Measures to prevent Covid-19 are simple and easy to practice, with your help we can reduce contagion. Follow hygiene recommendations to take care of your health.
The Mayor conducted a tour of the cleaning of the absorption wells by Aguakan and he spoke about the importance of not littering and complying with the trash collection schedule. He said, ′′Keeping our streets and avenues clean is everyone's job, and this prevents absorption wells and drains from being obstructed when it rains; an action as simple as putting garbage in the appropriate place can avoid situations of risk for everyone." The absorption wells are located in low areas to prevent flooding of the streets, and cleaning them is done repeatedly, especially during this rain-hurricane season thru the end of November. The work also contributes to avoiding the proliferation of mosquitoes, to prevent dengue.

Turtles continue nesting in July. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur
during this
month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest,
but generally the sand isn't sufficiently deep.Swimming with the whale sharks takes place in July, which ends annually in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas. Photo by Tony Garcia
