Rainbow & sunset (to the east) yesterday...from MaraVilla Caribe Bed & Beach
Showers and thunderstorms have become better organized in association with a low pressure system located about midway between the west coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions are expected to be somewhat conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form during the next day or two while the low moves westward at around 10 mph over the tropical Atlantic. By the weekend, however, less favorable conditions should limit additional development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
If you're wondering about the other system, not heading our way, it says:
A tropical wave is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over western Cuba, the northwestern Bahamas, southern Florida, and the adjacent Atlantic and Caribbean waters. Gradual development of this system is possible while it moves west-northwestward during the next few days. This system is expected to move over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico later today, the central Gulf on Wednesday, and the northwestern Gulf on Thursday and Friday. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system this afternoon, if necessary. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

In response to the events of this weekend, in which a young woman beloved by the island community lost her life, Mayor Juan Carrillo Soberanis received the families of the victim in the Town Hall and presented his stance on the regrettable incident. "First of all I want to tell you, as I expressed to your family, that this heinous event pains me a great deal, and I also have to say that I am angry that a responsible and hardworking person has died at the hands of criminals."
He pointed out that since the events last weekend, work has been carried out in a coordinated manner by the appropriate authorities, however, no further details can be provided to avoid violations of due process that could violate the course of the investigation.
To the family of the deceased, the Mayor reiterated that everything is being done to ensure justice. He added, ′′It is not right when innocent people are victims and their families suffer the insensitive handling of photos and videos by unscrupulous people."
He said that patrols have increased throughout the island, in coordination with the three levels of government, who are aware of the facts, and he also asked for the collaboration of the island community, to report any suspicious movement perceived around them.
Video from the section of Hidalgo, the pedestrian street, just north of the Town Square, showing various stores are open.

Thru the office of the Harbor Master, it was confirmed that permits can now be extended, thru July 26th, to expand nautical activities in the following manner:
Commercial fishing activities will be restored without restrictions.
There will be restrictions of 50% on the authorized activities permitted for these nautical services: Transporters of Tourists, Tourist Marinas and Nautical Activities Public & Private, Diving Operators & Aquatic Activities ("Transportadoras Turísticas, Marinas Turísticas y Actividades Náuticas Públicas y Privadas, Operadoras de Buceo y Actividades Acuáticas").
It is required that sanitary prevention measures must be observed at all times: Frequent hand washing, mandatory use of face masks, and maintaining 1.5 meters of healthy distance whenever possible. They must also provide proof of sanitation of their boats, completion of the training courses provided by the IMSS, as well as all the usual required documents.
According to TV Isla Mujeres, this expansion of nautical activities, which is part of the "Plan to Reactivate Quintana Roo", is intended to "inject oxygen into the industry, at least in the northern region", which remains under the orange light. LINK

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
Delta Aquariid meteor showers begin in mid July, peak on July 31-August 1st when there is less interference from moonlight, and continue thru August 23rd.
Lobster fishing resumes in July, until the end of February.
