Hey
We're down in San V... trying to get things done AND survive the heat.
It was over 100 yesterday. It's 4pm now and it's 101.
Yeah, it's October. In Baja Mexico, October is the hottest month.
Relative humidity was 26%... balmy!
Most people here do very little from about 12 noon until 6pm... too hot to do anything... that's where the Mexican 'siesta' came from: might as well take a nap!
The good news is... so far... no fires. Fire danger is high, with all the chapparell growth dried out, all it needs is some spark (usually lightening) or some broken bottle-bottom acting as a lens for the direct sun on a fuel source... thousands of acres go up each year like that...
Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids and stay in the shade! 
Rainy season kicks in at the end of November... then it drops into the 20's at night...
Chris
