The NHC still gives it a low, 20%, chance of formation thru 5 days and
says: "A broad area of low pressure could form in a couple of days over
the SW Caribbean Sea. Some gradual development of this system is
possible late this week while it moves slowly NW or N-NW over the
western Caribbean Sea." It has a near zero chance of formation through
48 hours. Their Tropical Weather Discussion adds: "A tropical wave
moving across the W Caribbean will reach the Yucatan Peninsula by Tue
morning enhancing winds and convection over the region."

Regarding the national semaforo light, the Federal Secretary of Health said there are no changes for this week. Therefore, Quintana Roo remains in the Yellow status for October 19-25th. Our state upgraded from Orange to Yellow two weeks ago on Monday, October 12. There is one state in Green, 14 in Yellow, 17 in Orange and none in Red. Note--The federal Semaforo is different from the State Semaforo, and it is the state light that determines when the beaches are open and at what capacity the hotels, restaurants and other businesses operate.
Here is a video of Isla Mujeres in 1966--when it had trains, planes & automobiles!Ok, the train was one car pulled by a
mule from the ferry to what is now the Mia. This is also pre-Cancun,
which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. They head over to Isla Mujeres at 12 minutes.

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
patrols. 
Oct. 6-10, -Draconid meteors, peaking on evening of Oct. 7, but should be worth watching on the night before and after, also This is an evening meteor shower, that you don't have to stay up late to watch...look before the waning moon rises in mid-to-late evening. 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."
Oct
20-21-22-Orionid meteors peak in the early morning hours. There's more
activity after midnight and the maximum amount in the pre-dawn hours of
Oct. 20th & 21st . These are "shooting stars" from Halley's Comet
& occur from early October to early November as the earth passes
thru its debris.
