MND Local: Fishing, celebrations and storms in Baja California Sur

In Baja California Sur, September is a month of both festivities and storms. Independence Day celebrations, including parades and parties, are held throughout the region, with Los Cabos hosting upscale events like "Viva Mexico" dinners and live music performances. However, the month is also known for its storms, with hurricanes being most likely to hit this time of year.

In fact, seven of the ten strongest hurricanes to strike the region have occurred in September. Despite the heavy rainfall, which accounts for nearly 40% of the state's annual precipitation, the transformation from dry to lush green is remarkable, with trees like Palo blanco and palo verde quickly sprouting new leaves and colorful wildflowers blooming in a matter of days.

This natural renewal may foreshadow the upcoming tourism season, which begins in October and features major events such as Sammy Hagar's birthday parties and two large fishing tournaments.
