Now formation chance has increased to 70% through 48 hours and remains 80% through 5 days. Shower activity continues to become better organized in association with a tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea. Conditions are conducive for further development of this system, and a Tropical Depression is likely to form this weekend or early next week as the system moves into the central and western Caribbean Sea. The Governor noted that it is heading toward Central America and currently poses no threat to our coasts, and bears monitoring for its potential development and trajectory. He also mentioned the cold front "norte" that arrived today. VIDEO
The state epidemiological light remains in Yellow for both the Northern and Southern Zones for Monday thru Sunday, November 2-8. In our Northern Zone, the Contagion Risk had a slight increase, reaching 0.98-0.99, because there has been a rebound of cases in recent days. The Governor says there is a very real risk of returning to Orange, which occurs when the Contagion Risk reaches 1. To reach Green, the Contagion Risk must drop below 0.5. He emphasizes the importance of practicing preventative hygiene measures and not letting down your guard.
The Hospital Availability factor remains in Green in both Zones. In the Southern Zone, The Contagion Risk improved to 0.88.
The Governor emphasizes that parties and celebrations for Day of the Dead are NOT permitted. He says do not put our health at risk and don't put us at risk of returning to Orange or Red. Don't cause more cases and more deaths. Face masks are mandatory, and protocols need to be strictly followed, which is particularly important in the Northern Zone, because it is very close to returning to Orange. This would cause many more restrictions, lower hotel capacities and affect the economic recovery. He says everyone who is organizing these types of gatherings needs to think better of it, it's not worth it; we are currently in a very complicated moment with this epidemic and we need to be very strict about protocols in order to move forward, and not backward. Celebrations will cause an increase in cases and deaths, and a return to Orange or Red. Discipline and attention are required in regard to protocols and activities.

The Mayor says: Friends of Isla Mujeres, by official decree all meetings
and public or private parties for the celebration of the Day of the
Dead or Halloween are prohibited. We are living in difficult times when
we all have suffered the loss of loved ones due to the coronavirus
pandemic. We have to join forces to protect our families and the
vulnerable population. In a joint effort, we will launch an operation
between the National Guard, Municipal Police, COFEPRIS, SEFIPLAN and
SATQROO to invite the community to stay at home, and we will take the
necessary measures to inhibit meetings/gatherings.
Let's raise
awareness and be prudent about the risks posed by crowds or gatherings

of our municipality and to continue advancing on the state
epidemiological light.

Turtles continue nesting in October.
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. The season officially ends on the 15th, but monitoring
continues thru the end of the month. Photos of nest hatching out at
MaraVilla Caribe Bed & Beach, that was missed by the Tortugranja

It is usually a slow shower with a meteor every 10-15 minutes. But it is known for having 'bursts" of hundreds or thousands of meteors in occasional years, which aren't predicted with any certainty. "Meteor showers are like fishing. You go, and sometimes you catch something."

thru its debris.
