Of course, they volunteer. When they go on break for Christmas, New Years, Easter, Summer, or Jose's birthday, the weather site can remain untended for days (this example shows it to be 20 days obsolete). They often report in Spanish only. I went here often and could soon translate a weather report by eye. A more reliable source might be The Weather Channel. Under no circumstances should you rely on weather reports provided by real estate companies, fishing and hunting guides, nor any other promoters. The U.S. State Department slams Mexican travel.

News about Mexico appears to be controlled in the same way as news about Afghanistan, unemployment and military spending.
A few days ago I logged into Yahoo during a rainstorm. Yahoo told me it was a sunny 125 degrees fahrenheit. Of course this was the exception that proves the rule. The rule seems to be 'add 12 to 15 degrees to actual instrument readings for Ensenada.' A group that really tries is:
