Here is a link to the TRMM satellite imagery: http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications_dir/regional_americas.html This is actual space-based radar-measured rainfall rates, not just infrared cloud-top temperatures. It's the best radar we've got since the closest Mexican weather radar site at Cuyutlan has been broken since last summer. It's not quite real-time since this satellite is in a low orbit, so they have to stitch together data from several orbits to give a complete image. The 7-day accumulation seems to show over 8" near the Manzanillo coastline. Sorry we're missing out on all the interesting weather; save some for us when we return in a couple weeks! |
