Hurricane Ike and Mexico

Many people were concerned about Hurricane Ike and whether it would cause a problem for people going on holidays this fall.

Well good news, there are no problems as far as the weather is concerned. No hurricane Ike problems in the Cancun or Mayan Riviera areas of the east coast of Mexico. Many people were concerned about the effect of Hurricane Ike as you may or may not be aware there have been some tough times in Mexico as far as past hurricanes were concerned. As you may or may not know Cancun can expect to get hit by a major hurricane once every 10 years and a smaller one a bit more often. In fact back in 2005 Hurricane Wilma hit and destroyed the beaches of Cancun but they have been built up since.

So what was the effect of Hurricane Ike this week? Well the peak winds only hit 20 miles per hour at the peak of the hurricane and the temperatures were in the 80’s as usual.

Cancun and the Mayan Riviera are my favorite areas of Mexico to travel and with a plan to hopefully visit there this Winter I was really nervous about ths big hurricane ruining such a beautiful area.

Great to see that Hurricane Ike was a non event in Mexico this week!
