June has arrived on the island, bringing to Cozumel lots of rain. In fact, in the first 4 days of the month, over 330 mm/13 inches flooded much of Cozumel’s low-lying areas. Many streets were detoured and some area schools opted to close for the day rather than have students and parents face such inclement conditions.
Such heavy rainfall also had a positive effect on an island facing drought conditions. According to the head of the Municipal Department of Ecology, Rafael Chacon, over 150 turtle nests were discovered due to the heavy rains shifting compacted sand. Additionally, over 500,000 palms in the Punta Sur reserve, received a much needed watering.
