The Weather Underground - Manzanillo Airport

Usually with as little as 30% chance we just don't get it ... but this is the first sign of rain since fall. The Chapala area had thunder, lightning and rain last night so the season is starting. The highlands often get more rain than we do here on the coast

First rain of the season in Melaque?

Melaque via Manzanillo Airport

The Manzanillo airport was fogged in if you can believe that from the picture below of Melaque from the air. We had to make 3 passes to get it right and the third try we went as far north as La Manzanilla before starting the approach.

Taxies are the only option to get to Melaque which is typical for most airports in Mexico. The cost is arond $30us for a sedan and around $50 for a suburban - and takes less than 1/2 hour.

The Manzanillo airport (ZLO) is further from Manzanillo than from Melaque
