Good news! Tom and Mary Jo have generously offered to be the La Manzanilla rain reporters. Bravo! They will measure any interesting rainfalls and report them on the board (probably not the annoying little 1/16" rainfalls and such.)
Remember the rain reporter position did not include measuring/reporting on temperatures/humidities.
Also not included is reporting on hurricanes. Unless someone else volunteers to do this reliably, I recommend that everyone keeps their own eye out for developing or approaching storms.
You can do a basic storm check in just a minute every day. Just choose your favorite hurricane tracking website, save it on your desktop or in your favorites, and click on it daily (or how often you prefer.)
I like the Weather Underground for hurricane warning and tracking, but there are plenty of others. Some are more "simplified" than Weather Underground. Here is the Weather Underground Eastern Pacific storm tracking page (which actually includes much of the Central Pacific region also): http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/?index_region=ep
This overview map will show you all the current storms (there are three right now), and also any "Invests" that are likely to develop into a named storm. You can click on any of these storms, or just scroll down to see all the prediction maps and other details for each storm. Here is TD-14E's details:
Good hunting, and I'll chime in occasionally during my travels if I have internet and time. Thanks again Tom and Mary Jo!
